Write the right instructions to the dog sitter

Dog sitting has become a common feature in so many households. When you decide to hire a dog sitter, the more information you give them about your dog’s routine the better for your dog. If you have more than one dog, then it is important for you to have a good idea on what these facts are all about. In this article you will find some helpful ideas that you can make use of to give the right instructions for the sitter when you are hiring them.
The set of instructions to give are
1.         It is important to give the dog sitters a good idea on what the food habits, exercise routine, and where the right supplies for them are kept. This is the right time to mention which are your dog’s favourite treats and which are the things that your pet is allergic to.
2.         Medication is an important part of your pet’s health. Write and give the correct dosage and frequency of the dosage, and how it is usually given.
3.         For an emergency situation, it is important to give your number where you can be reached any time of the day or night. You should also give the name and number of the vet that you take your dog to always. It is good to discuss about a 24 hour vet also in case the original doctor can’t be reached.
4.         If your pet is scared of loud noises such as fireworks, or if your pet hates cars, then you might want to tell this to the dog sitters, just so that they can be prepared with your dog in case a situation arises.
5.         Let the pet sitter know a detailed view on what the daily routine with your pet is. For example, if you give your pet a bath every Saturday, and you take him or her to the park on the same evening, you might want to mention this as it is best to stick to the original routine.
Pet sitters know that your pets really are a big part of your family, and while some of the routines or things you do with your dog might seem a bit weird to others, but trust us, they have seen much more than you might think so. They are there to make the dog’s life as comfortable and secure as possible while you are away and nothing more
