When your work schedule is subject to change, it’s advantageous to have a pet sitter who is flexible and can step in on short notice. That way, if you have an important appointment or need to stay late at the office, you can trust your pet will be taken care of. Your pet sitter is there to make your everyday life easier -- not to cause you an additional headache wondering if they'll be late or show up at all. It's important that you can rely on your caregiver and schedule your plans confidently. Set clear agreements between you and your pet sitter about rules and scheduling. A good pet sitter recognizes the needs of your pet and responds to them. All these attributes describe me.
