Looking For Dog Sitters? Follow These Simple Steps To Find The Best For Your Pet

Are you busy looking for dog sitters in London? Are you confused with dozens of dog sitters, all of them claiming to offer the best dog sitting services? Well, follow these simple steps in order to find the best dog sitter for your pet:

Dog sitters are like any other professionals. In order to sell their professional services, they advertise themselves and their services in the most enticing manner. But, you must behave wisely. Don’t get fooled by their words. When looking for the professional dog waking/dog sitting services, get as much information as you can about the dog sitter/walker.

Find out the exact nature of the dog walking services provided by the dog walker. Does the dog walker himself offer the services or is he an agent or broker who outsources the services to dog walkers on finding the clients for the same. It is better to look for the dog walkers directly instead of the agents as you can get in touch with the dog walker and explain him your exact needs and specifications regarding the dog walking services.

Tell the dog sitter when and for how long do you want to use his service, mention if you want him to take your pet out for walking and playing once or twice a week, and if you don’t want the dog walker to take your pet out in a group, tell him frankly. By discussing each and every aspect with the dog walker/sitter, you can assure yourself of the best possible services for yourself and your pet.

Request the dog sitters to provide you with complete details about themselves such as their total experience in dog sitting business, their knowledge about different breeds of dogs, about their eating habits, their likes and dislikes in general, and steps that one should follow in emergency situations.

If you are convinced that the particular dog sitter/walker is knowledgeable, call him for a trial. Find out how he manages your pet throughout the day in your absence or how he handles it on road, park, or lawn when out for walk.

Don’t forget to get references. Talk to some of the existing or past clients of the dog sitter to get a fair review of the services offered by him.

Last, but the most important ask the dog walker how much he would be charging you for providing his services. Make sure that the dog sitter gives you a crystal clear price quote. Also, ask about the surcharge for re-scheduling or cancellations.
