When Considering Hiring A Cat Sitter San Francisco

By Martina Garrett


There can be a variety of reasons to choose a cat sitter San Francisco but for many pet owners they may still not see the advantage. There is no doubt that a pet can be left for short periods of time. However if you plan on going away and can't take your pet with you there is a solution. Remember that not all sitters are the same.

The need for sitters has increased yearly. In the early years pet sitters were merely adults out of work or college students in need of some extra cash. While they certainly did the job there were far to many bad experiences for owners. Many times they would see their pet was not fed on time or not taken care of as they would have wanted.

Those days have changed. Sitters today are professionals that mostly operate a business of their own. These are people who have made it their business to work with owners and understand how to correctly take care of a pet while the owner is away. While the sitters have become better at their jobs there is still some caution an owner will need to exercise.

In order to hire the right person you need to know what to look for ahead of time. Since this is a job you will want to make it a point to sit down an interview any and all perspective sitters. Have a list of questions handy so you can have all of your questions answered. Its understandable that sitters now a days are in demand and very busy but they should at the very least be willing to do a phone interview.

Without a doubt there are some key questions you want to be sure you are asking. Ask if they can provide proof of insurance. They should carry liability insurance at the very least. This makes sure that there is coverage in case an accident has occurred in your home.

Since modern day sitters can be asked to sit a number of different kinds of pets they should have some sort of training. Ask a sitter if they have indeed taken any special training classes before you consider hiring one. A well trained sitter will be able to successfully sit with any number of different kinds of pets.

Many owners either skip this next question or forget to ask about it. Contracts are an important part of life. They provide piece of mind for both the pet owner and should be used by all professional sitters. Contracts spell out what services sitters provide as well as what is expected by the owner. These contracts do not need to be in depth but instead can be a couple of pages long.

For a number of owners the idea of leaving their pet alone is not an option so finding a cat sitter San Francisco is a must. In order to find the right one make it a point to conduct an interview ahead of time. There are a variety of crucial questions you should have answered so write these questions down.
