Here are some suggestions on what to do for your pet and home to prepare for a pet sitter:
Make sure to leave plenty of food, treats, kitty litter, etc. while you are away.
Place the leash and “poop” bags in an easily accessible place.
Make sure collars are snug and secured and have current identification tags.
Put out any medications your pet requires with written directions on how to administer.
You may want to leave an item of your clothing as a “security blanket” for your pet.
Let you veterinarian know you will be out of town and that you will have a pet sitter and leave emergency instructions and credit card information.
Write a list of possible favorite hiding places (if applicable).
Ensure that pets with access to the outdoors are secure by having locks on all yard access gates.
Adjust your thermostat for your pet’s comfort before leaving. Homes can get dangerously hot in a short amount of time.
Provide your pet with plenty of water to drink throughout the day for times in between pet sitting visits.
Leave emergency contact information and phone numbers.
Leave flight itinerary for your vacation schedule.
Place cleaning supplies, vacuum cleaner, towels, etc. where they will be easily accessible.
List any “off limit” areas of your home for pets and sitter.
Make sure ALL doors and windows are locked before leaving.
Consider leaving a radio on for your pet as this may give them a sense of security.
Make sure your garage door is locked or secured.
Mow the lawn before leaving and arrange for outdoor maintenance as necessary.
Ask your sitter to adjust window coverings and alter lighting and specify which ones.
Use timers on interior lights to go on at dusk and off at bedtime.
Inform your neighbors of your absence and use of a pet sitter.
These are just a few things to remember to protect your pet and your home.
