The Ultimate guide to pet sitting in Henderson

Posted by apawsative on January 3rd, 2013

Pet sitting in Henderson is one of those services that doesn’t really cross your mind until you’re in a position that you need it. But when you’re packing your bags to head out for a while to a function you can't miss, it’s too late to make an informed decision.

So it can be said the first step of any guide to selecting a great pet sitter is to have one in place and ready to call before you ever need them. Remember, pet sitting is a highly specialized and niche service. It may seem simple enough, someone comes and either lets the dog out to do their business in the back yard or maybe take them for a walk. But pet sitting can include service as extensive as the sitter staying in your home with your pet. And when dealing with a living animal, things can and do go wrong.

Obviously, you need people that know how to not only look after, but tend to animals of all kinds. They need to be trained on how to tend to a sick or injured pet, and when to call in professional help if things look serious. Leaving your pet in the hands of anyone other than professionals is to invite trouble, or make things worse should trouble strike.

Secondly, they need to be trustworthy. “But they will only be letting the dog out into the yard and making sure he has food” you say. To let the dog out, they still have access to the house. And while the dog is out, they can come in and help themselves to your stuff. Background checks are vital to make sure that potential thieves aren’t on the payroll. And who has their background checked into more than active or retired police officers?

Finally, despite all precautions, things can still go wrong. The cat could bite the sitter. The dog could run out the door and get hit by a car. Or the sitter may accidentally break something in the house. When these things rear their ugly head, you can rest easy knowing that the pet sitter you selected has adequate insurance and bonding to cover any damages that might occur. Otherwise, you face either having to pay out of pocket, having to file with your insurance company, or even getting sued.

By following this guide to pet sitting Henderson, you can’t take your personal, family, or business trip without having to be concerned that neither your pet, personal property, nor wallet will be in danger.
