Pet Sitting arrangement are considered when you are planning a tour. But what criteria should you keep in mind when determining the best pet sitter for your kitty?

1. Short trips and vacations add colors to our monotonous life. You can even welcome a lazy
spring afternoon sitting by the bay with your loved ones! For some pet parent inclusion of kitty
can be a fun while others prefer to reserve the local boarding facility beforehand. If your kitty
is not socialized and feels uncomfortable among strangers, travels and new experiences,
boarding or pet sitting arrangement is the best solution. Before you consider any boarding,
find answers for few queries -
1. Boarding environment - is it loud?
2. Cage Placement - are the pets facing each other? It can be very traumatic!
3. Litter Box and Food Box positioning at the cage - are they very close?
4. Playtime for pets.
5. Staff interaction with pets.
6. Anxiety Reduction Policies.
7. Vet-at-call service.
8. Night Monitoring Service.
Most of the boarding facilities are quite depressing and hence pet parents prefer the homely
comfort for their pet love! You can ask a friend or neighbor to look after your cat, but make
sure that he/she is responsible and matured enough to understand the needs of your cat and
can seek veterinarian help on your cat's needs. If you are not sure, do not risk the life of
your furry love!

2. Remember - Even a single day is good enough for a single accident to occur! Though you
can get millions of sitters providing services at your home, but choosing the right one can be a
tough task for you, especially when your long planned weekend is knocking the door!
Recommendation from your Veterinarian
If you are a new pet parent, the best way to ask help is from your veterinarian. An
experienced pet sitter worth their salt must have a strong support network that would surely
reach to the vet. Vet help is necessary, especially, if your cat needs special care. Only a well-
known sitter can provide you peace of mind, even during any medical emergencies!
Exchange your Thoughts
Once you have made your choice, talk with your cat sitter over a cup of coffee and discuss
your cat's specific behavior and practice to get the drift of her method to cope up with any
unexpected condition. Anyone can look good on papers and manage to display impressive
credentials while selling their expertise at pet sitting.
To judge, do not rush, get enough time to understand how she contemplates and reacts to
your given situations. You will automatically get a recommendation for a sitter who is
sufficiently trained and is passionate about cats!
Ask for her emergency plans and select the one who is well experienced enough to protect
your cat and your house as well. A comprehensive veterinary and/or associate pet sitter
network should cooperate and supervise if and when needed.
Gather Referrals
A qualified sitter will provide you with client list willing to vouch for her professionalism. If you
speak to other pet parents, be sure to ask about services that meet your cat needs and not
some generalized information.
Insured, Certified and Bonded
A certified and bonded pet sitter is highly desired by any cat owners. Not that every pet
sitter is bonded and insured, but when you are opting for a service, why to settle for less?
Plan early, and broaden up your search to find insured, bonded and certified sitter who can
keep up to your expectation. Before you entrust your cat and your house to someone, be sure
of her insurance, it can save you in case of any accidents, thefts, and other mishaps.
Pet Sitters International (PSI) or even The National Association of Professional Pet Sitters
(NAPPS) certified pet sitter should be your first choice, when it comes to your home and furry
love.
Follow a Try-out Session

3. Many times, even after a right selection, the compatibility can hardly be established between
your pet and the sitter. It can be a last minute plan change for you. To rest assured, ask your
pet sitter to offer you a service in your presence, so you can watch them interact with your
cat. It will make you and your sitter comfortable with the arrangement.
