Things to keep in mind if you’re looking for a reliable dog sitter

Even if you’re going out of town for one night, your dog needs someone there to look after him. They’re not like cats, who are pretty much fine on their own overnight. Dogs need to be let out, walked, fed and played with – and if it’s not you, you need to find or hire someone to take over your pet parent duties for the short term. Time to find a dog sitter!

You don’t want anyone taking care of your furry family member… so stay away from Craigslist! There are better ways to find a competent and trustworthy dog sitter who will stay in your home and ensure that your dog gets the care and attention he needs. Here are some tips that will help you find the right person when it’s time for hiring a dog sitter.
