Are you using a pet sitting service that you take your pet to while you are at work? Are you concerned about what they are doing with your pet when you are not there? Make it a point to come and pick up the pet at different times of the day. You may want to just stop by at your lunch hour to check in. This means that the sitter needs to allow you access to your pet at any time. Surprise visits are sure to give you an inside look at what is happening when you are not there.
Planning an evening out? Consider hiring a pet sitter. They can come into your home and stay with your pet for several hours or all day while you are away. The benefit of this is that your pet gets the attention that they need but also that your home stays in one piece while the pet gets to play and interact with others.
