With summer slowly creeping upon us, many of us in Frisco are all thinking about our vacations – where will we go, how long will we stay, who’s going to watch the pets? The latter usually sends a shock wave through our bodies and we’re instantly calling every friend, relative and neighbor we know. But are they reliable? Can you trust them? Shopping around for a Frisco pet sitter is the next step. How do you know what makes a good pet sitter? What should you look for?

Frisco pet sitting is a very busy business. There are many pet sitters that cater to the Frisco area which makes your decision even harder. Consider these things before choosing a Frisco pet sitter for you and your pets.

Do your pets need medicines, special diets, specific needs or other things that just any pet sitter may not be able to handle? If this is the case, you will want to see what experience different pet sitters have had. Some may not be comfortable with a special needs pet while others may specialize in it.

Is the pet sitter willing to give you references and past clients to contact? They are going to be in your home and caring for your beloved pets while you’re away. You want to be sure they are someone you can trust.

Is the pet sitter Pet First Aid certified? You want to have a competent, knowledgeable pet sitter that knows what to do in an emergency.

How long will they be staying with your pet during the visit and how many times per day are they willing to come see your pet? Most pet sitters require at least 3 visits per day for dogs and at least 1 visit per day for cats. Ask the pet sitter how long their visits last. You want to be sure your pet has some company, love and attention while you’re away – not just being let out to potty, fed and ignored.

It may be worth it to your peace of mind and your pets’ care to schedule a few consultations with different pet sitters in Frisco to see which will be the best fit for your needs. These consultations should be offered for free. This will allow you the chance to meet the pet sitter in person and see how they interact with your pets. And remember, no one has better judgment than animals so try to take their likes and dislikes into consideration as well. After all, your pets are going to be the ones spending all the time with the pet sitter!
