Instructions

1. Ask friends and family about their experiences with pet sitting services. You might here good stories, or bad stories - but both will help you decide if a certain pet sitting service is right for you and your pet.

2. Consider the services you require for your pet. For example, a larger dog might require an area to run and play, while an aggressive dog might require a private kennel. Make sure the pet sitting services you are considering provide the services you need.

3. Call the top choices for pet sitting in your area and ask questions. Do not be afraid to ask for details about how your pet will be cared for during a stay at the facility. A good pet sitting service will be happy to make you feel at ease about bringing your pet to their facility. If the service does not want to answer your questions or does not provide a sufficient amount of information, they could be hiding something.

4. Visit your top choices. After you have narrowed the choices to a few, visit each to observe how they treat the pets staying at their facility. Introduce yourself to the staff and ask any remaining questions.
