Choosing a pet sitter, or, in simple terms, a foster home for a cat, is a responsible undertaking that any owner will have to face sooner or later.
If you don't want to be stressed out about how your pet is doing while you're away, pay attention to these 5 key points.
Check out the reviews
Don't blindly trust recommendations: carefully study reviews - both positive and negative.
Meet the pet sitter in person
Before bringing your cat, visit the place where you plan to keep the animal and evaluate the conditions there: cleanliness, safety, comfort, etc.
During the visit, you will also be able to assess how the pet sitter communicates with her charges.
Learn about medical training
When talking, be sure to find out whether the pet sitter has first aid skills and whether he or she cooperates with veterinary clinics.
Discuss the details
Tell the pet sitter about the characteristics of your pet: its age, character, diet and habits.
Ensure transparency
At this stage, you should discuss the ways in which you will maintain contact with the foster home. Perhaps you will be offered a photo and video report function: this would be the best option.
All that remains is to sign the contract and you can pack your bags.
