It\u2019s extremely important that you thoroughly go through your routine and even go as far as clearly documenting it for <a href=\"http:\/\/blog.gopetfriendly.com\/preparing-for-your-pet-sitter\/\">reference<\/a>. Any medications and allergies your dog needs or has must be discussed and another reference sheet for those items left as well. Just as important are your dog\u2019s unique behaviors.<\/p>\n<p>We all know that like people all animals have different personalities. It\u2019s a good idea to cue your pet sitter in on this so that they may know when your dog is trying to tell them something, such as needing to go outside, having anxiety over something, or just wanting some attention. Now because something may go wrong or even if the pet sitter just has a question about how to adjust the thermostat, always leave your contact information and when and where you can be reached.<\/p>\n<h4><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Preparing_Your_Pet\"><\/span><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-580 size-full\" src=\"http:\/\/lovelyn.us\/\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/dog.png\" alt=\"pet sitter\" width=\"640\" height=\"426\" \/>Preparing Your Pet<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n<p>Even if your pet has had an <a href=\"https:\/\/www.petsit.com\/owners\">overnight<\/a> pet sitter before they may experience separation anxiety. A good way to get them used to your pet sitter before you leave them in the sitter\u2019s care entirely is to make introductions beforehand. Asking your pet sitting service to send the same person over for walks for a few days before you leave can get your pet and the sitter used to each other.<\/p>\n<p>Also, allowing the sitter to spend some time in your home while you are there can keep your dog from trying to protect your home from unknown strangers when you are gone.<\/p>\n<p>Although your long absence may be unfamiliar for your furry friend, at least this way they will somewhat know who they are being left with.\u00a0 This can make your time away much easier for your pet and make your pet sitters job that much easier.<\/p>\n<p>.<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-579 size-full\" src=\"http:\/\/lovelyn.us\/\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/basket.png\" alt=\"pet sitting\" width=\"640\" height=\"426\" \/><\/p>\n<h4><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Preparing_Your_Home\"><\/span>Preparing Your Home<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n<p>You\u2019ll also need to get your home ready for your guest.

Your pet sitter may be unfamiliar with the layout of your house, so removing any unnecessary debris will make it easier to navigate. Basically, just keep it clean!<\/p>\n<p>Also, if there are any tempting cupboards with foods or other items that may be dangerous for your pup, consider locking them or moving the food to unreachable areas.
