Go through this checklist to make sure your doggy and sitter are ready for each other. You'll be able to breathe easier knowing you did everything possible to make both their time together enjoyable!
1. Provide Details
Be sure to leave details regarding feeding schedules, sleep schedules, and any silly little canine habits that might surprise your dog-sitter.
2. Meet and Sniff
Setting up a time for your dog to meet your sitter before you trip is essential to make sure they’re as comfortable as can be before you leave.
3. Pack Their Favorite Things
Having something cozy and familiar will help your dog feel comfortable in a new environment.
4. Plan Ahead
Don’t make your dog-sitter run out for another bag—or worse—rely on table food. Be prepared and pack extra.
5. SnoutTime
No matter the reason for your absence, don’t forget to check in on your little buddy! Plus, your pup will adore hearing your voice (or seeing your face)!
6. Don’t Forget Any Medications
Whether you’ll be away during their monthly dose of heartworm medication or they require something a bit more daily, don’t forget to pack these essentials.
Now that you know exactly how to prepare Fido for his sitter, you'll be able to completely enjoy that dream vacation. You deserve it! Don't forget to bring Fido back some souvenirs! LOL!
