What
is next?
An
initial free consultation gives us both an opportunity to get acquainted.
I realise you will be entrusting a stranger into your home and understand, you
may have some anxiety or be a little apprehensive about it. I hope this will
give us the chance to alleviate all that and get to know your carer more.
I will get the chance to interact with your
cat while you are present. This
will also be a time when you can get any questions about cat sitting services answered. The
free consultation includes:
- A visit to your home to gain
familiarity with your cat and home routine. Essential if your cat is
to be sat at your home
- Discussion and completion of
House and Cat Information Sheet.
- Discussion and completion
Pet Service Agreement.
- Discussion and completion
of vet release form.
Preparing for your pet sitter
Preparation can make a big
difference in how smoothly things go for your pet when the pet sitter comes to
visit. Here are some tips:
-
Make sure the cat sitter has
a phone number where you can be reached (This should appear on the pet
sitting service agreement form)
-
If you have new keys made,
try them out to make sure they work.
-
Provide extra food, litter
and other supplies just in case you're not able to return when planned.
-
Adjust the thermostat to keep
the house comfortable for the pet during your absence. In warm weather, a
closed-up house can get dangerously hot in a short time.
-
Leave a list of phone numbers
in case the pet sitter needs to contact service or maintenance companies
while you are away; i.e., plumber, electrician, cleaning service etc
-
Tell the cat sitter of any
household areas that are off-limits to your pets or to the pet sitter.
Secure access to those areas before leaving home.
