Should I arrange a meet-and-greet before booking?

We strongly recommend it, especially for first-time bookings. A meet-and-greet lets your pet get comfortable with the sitter and gives you a chance to see the sitter's home if you are booking boarding. Most sitters are happy to arrange a short introductory visit. It is also the best time to discuss your pet's routine, dietary needs, medication, and any behavioural quirks.

What should I bring or prepare for my pet's stay?

Bring your pet's regular food (enough for the entire stay plus a day extra), any medications with clear dosage instructions, their favourite toys and blanket for comfort, and your vet's contact details. Provide a written summary of your pet's daily routine, feeding schedule, and any special requirements. Your sitter will discuss exact needs during the meet-and-greet.

What are the drop-off and pick-up arrangements?

Drop-off and pick-up times are arranged directly between you and the sitter. Discuss timing preferences during the meet-and-greet or via messaging. Most sitters are flexible and can accommodate reasonable requests. If you need early drop-off or late pick-up, let your sitter know in advance so they can plan accordingly.
