Instructions

1. Understand Your Pet’s Needs

   • Consider your pet’s daily routine, activity level, and personality.

   • Determine whether they need companionship, exercise, or a safe space for extended periods.

2. Explore the Available Services

   • Pet Sitting (Overnight Care): Ideal if you’re away for a few days and want your pet to stay in a familiar environment.

   • Pet Hosting (Overnight Care): Ideal if you’re away for a few days and want your pet to stay in a sitter’s home.

   • Doggy Day Care: Perfect for dogs needing daytime attention, socialisation, and exercise.

   • House Visits: Great for independent pets like cats who need feeding, cleaning, and some company during the day.

   • Dog Walking: Best for dogs requiring regular exercise while you’re busy.

   • Pet Day Visits: Suitable for pets needing extended care during the day, including playtime and feeding.

3. Consider Your Pet’s Temperament

   • For social pets, Doggy Day Care or Dog Walking may be a great choice.

   • For shy or anxious pets, House Visits or Pet Sitting might work better to minimise stress.

4. Match the Service to Your Schedule

   • Evaluate how long you’ll be away and how much care your pet will need during that time.

   • Choose a service that provides coverage for your specific timeframe.

5. Discuss Your Needs with the Sitter

   • Use the messaging feature to clarify your pet’s needs and discuss the service details with the Sitter.

   • Share information about feeding schedules, exercise routines, and any special requirements.

6. Test a Service

   • If unsure, start with a short-term service like a day visit or walk to see how your pet adapts.

   • Use this as an opportunity to build trust with the Sitter.
