Frequently Asked Questions

Look for experienced and well-reviewed pet sitters who have worked with your pet’s breed or species. A good sitter should be CPR-certified for pets, knowledgeable about pet behavior, and able to handle emergencies. Always check client reviews, references, and any professional pet-sitting certifications. Arrange a meet-and-greet before booking to see how they interact with your pet and discuss their approach to feeding, exercise, and medical needs.

Before hiring, ask:

  • What experience do you have with pets similar to mine?
  • How do you handle pet emergencies or sudden illnesses?
  • Do you offer overnight stays or just check-ins?
  • Can you provide updates, photos, or videos while I’m away?
  • Do you have references from previous clients?

Pet sitting involves a sitter coming to your home to care for your pet, while boarding means your pet stays at a sitter’s home or a boarding facility. Sitting is ideal for pets that prefer their familiar environment, while boarding can be a good option for highly social pets. Some pet sitters offer both services, so choose based on your pet’s comfort level and needs.

Keep their routine as normal as possible, maintain feeding times, exercise schedules, and preferred sleeping arrangements. Leave detailed care instructions, favorite toys, and an item with your scent for comfort. If your pet has anxiety, discuss calming strategies with the sitter, such as playing soothing music or using anxiety-reducing treats.

Yes! Many pet sitters on Vouchspot offer photo, video, and text updates so you can check in on your pet’s well-being. You can compare sitters based on their communication style and choose someone who provides the level of reassurance you need while you're away.
