Hiring a pet sitter for the holidays?
If you're planning to leave your dog or cat home in Austin while you travel for the holidays, it's time to start searching for a pet sitter now. We get booked up very quickly for Thanksgiving and Christmas!
When you find an Austin pet sitter who can stay in your home where your pets are most comfortable, you need to make sure they're trustworthy. Too often do I hear about pet sitters who leave dogs unattended for 14+ hours with no potty breaks. The first time I hired a sitter, I came home after the holidays to a bed full of cat pee because the "pet sitter" did not clean out the litter box once. My poor cat was so stressed and desperate when I returned. :(
Make sure your pet sitter is experienced and trustworthy! It's great if they have positive reviews on Yelp, Google, or Rover, but you need to vet these reviews out yourself. Ask your sitter for references, and then call those references. Make sure they're not just a friend or a family member, but a real client who paid to have your sitter take care of their pets.
Stay safe, and Happy Thanksgiving!
