How do I leave my pet sitter key?
If you are using Time To Pet, it's easy to leave notes on a pet parent's profile, including a door code or hidden key location. Some pet care companies won't keep keys on file, requiring all clients to have a coded door or lockbox on their property.
Your dog walker should hold a second set of keys primarily in the case of an emergency. While unlikely a second set will be required, it's important to plan for every eventuality. You want to ensure that if your regular dog walker was to be taken ill or if the keys were lost that they have a backup in place.
Thank you for watching the dogs while we are away. It's a comfort knowing that they will be looked after and let out on a regular basis. I appreciate your willingness to stay at the house and bring in the mail too. I am glad that you were once again about to watch my cats while I traveled.
As a pet sitter or pet owner, it is your responsibility to make sure you stay with pets at all times when you are out in public, whether you are at a dog park or the grocery store. Leaving a pet alone even for a few moments can put them at risk of theft, so always keep them with you, and keep them on a leash.

Once you've contacted the walker, they should arrange a Meet & Greet with you. This is where they will come to your house to meet you and your dog, learn about the service specifics you're looking for, and see where the supplies (leash, poop bags, etc.) are located within your home.

Thanks so much for taking such wonderful care of Rufus while we were away last week over Christmas. He loves spending time with you because he knows he'll have the most fun vacation out in the mountains, playing in the meadows and exploring fresh snowfall on the trails all day, every day!
Having the confidence that the pet sitter can deal with other issues - such as grooming, vet visits. Eliminating the trauma of having to transport and leave your pet. Not having to impose on family, friends or neighbors. Feeling your home is more secure (with someone going in and out several times a day)

How do Rover sitters get into your house?
Once you've contacted the walker, they should arrange a Meet & Greet with you. This is where they will come to your house to meet you and your dog, learn about the service specifics you're looking for, and see where the supplies (leash, poop bags, etc.) are located within your home.
Cat sitting is a safe, reliable and trustworthy service providing love and care for your cat while you're away. It's a great alternative to cat boarding or a cattery. How long should a cat sitter stay? If a cat sitter is visiting once or twice a day, they should stay for around 20-40minutes per visit.
