"Hi! I'm Beverly for Expert Village. In this clip, we are going to be talking about red flags you should look for when searching for a pet sitter. If the pet sitter does not come out and meet with you and your pet, that is a red flag. You need to meet the person who is going to be coming into your house and your pet needs to meet them too. It is important to show them your pets routine and explain any special instructions. If your pet does not respond well to that person, that can be a bad sign. If the sitter seems uncomfortable with your pet, you may want to go with someone else. Will the sitter provide references? If not, that is definitely a red flag. If the pet sitter is not bonded and insured, stay away from them. That means if anything happens to your pet or your home while it is in the sitter's care, you are responsible for those costs. Find out if they are a member of any pet sitting organizations such as Pet Sitters International or the National Association of Professional Pet Sitters. Belonging to these organizations doesn't automatically make them reputable, but it does show a dedication to the profession as well as an interest in learning more. Ultimately it is up to you to choose the person that you feel the most comfortable with and who you trust to do such an important job. "
