Finding the best pet sitter for your pup!
The Pawesome Pet Sits Guide
As a dog owner, it can be tough to find a reliable and trustworthy
dog sitter. But fear not, because the team at Pawesome Pet Sits is
here to help you sniff out the best dog sitter for your furry friend!
Follow these five pawesome steps and you’ll be wagging your tail
with joy:
1. Do your research. When contacting pet care providers, it’s
important to ask the right questions to be sure that your dog is
in good hands. Don’t be afraid to ask about their experience
with dogs, their availability, and their pet care philosophy. Be
on the lookout for licensing, insurance and awards – without
this, you’re barking up the wrong tree! We at Pawesome Pet
Sits pride ourselves on being a team of fully insured pet-lovers,
providing a safe and professional pet-sitting service as well as
making sure your doggie feels like an A-list celeb.

2. Have a stalk. Before you let someone watch your precious
pooch, make sure they’re legit. Check out their social media
pages to see what they post about, what other dog parents are
saying, and to get a sense of their overall vibe. At the
Pawesome Pet Sits page, you’ll see live pupdates of what our
doggy best friends are up to, as well as getting to know our
team and having the chance to win goodies (and let’s be honest
– who doesn’t love goodies!)

3. Let them meet your furry friend. It’s impawtent for your dog
and the sitter to meet and get to know each other before the
sitter takes over. This will give your dog a chance to sniff them
out and see if they’re a good fit. It’s like a doggie first date! Any
good pet-sitting company will provide a complimentary meet-
and-greet, both for your peace of mind and the chance for your
pup to meet their new fur-ever friend.
‘Hi, I’m Leo, welcome to my crib!’
4. Go over your dog’s needs. If your dog has any special needs,
make sure your sitter knows everything they need to. Whether
it’s a dietary restriction, medication, or a particular routine, you
can rest assured knowing that your sitter is ready to tailor their
stay to your pup’s needs. Don’t be afraid to give too much
information – knowing your furry pal’s walk routine can be just
as important as making sure 2pm treat time isn’t forgotten!

5. Do a test run. If it’s the first time you’ve gone without your
pooch, or you want the extra peace of mind, have the sitter
watch your fur baby for a short period of time to make sure
everything runs smoothly. This extra time can help your pup
become besties with the sitter, get some extra cuddles, and
even experience one of our paws-itively perfect off-street
walks.
