When working out the details about your needs with a pet sitter, find out about feeding. Some pet sitters will provide food and water to your pet. Others will request that you supply their food. You don't want to assume that you know what they will need here.

Your pet sitter may even be able to come to your home. For some pets, staying at their home is a much more acceptable way of enjoying their time rather than staying in a kennel. Some pet sitters will come and stay with your pet at your local area.

When working with your pet sitter, find out what type of care they will provide to your pet when the pet is ill or becomes hurt. They should have your vet's phone number and contact information. You may even find that they have their own vet on call in case of emergencies.
