what is required for a sitter to watch my dog while i am away?

It's pretty simple.

First make sure you have added all of your pets to your profile.

Then select the service type, dates, and which animals need service.

To do this you will have to go to sitters profiles to request them. I would suggest asking a few different sitters to make sure you can find one.

Tell them about your care needs and set up a meet and greet before booking.

Before you search for a sitter I would make sure your profile is completed to include a listing of all animals in your household
