Hi. I’m Vanessa from goldcoastpets.com.au. Well, today I’m going to you
about the secret rules of finding and keeping your ideal pet sitter. Well
first things first is the secret to actually finding a pet sitter. First,
talk to your friends, family and co- workers. They may be hiding a secret
gold mine. Next check this person’s testimonials, and when you do, trust
your gut. It will never steer you wrong.

Next, read this persons about us page on their website. Hopefully they have
put a little bit of effort into it, and in which case shows a little bit of
their personality. Do you think they will be the right fit for you?

Next, shop for value for money, what sort of fee structure are they? Are
they a cheap pet sitter who charges per pet, and on different times, and is
there going to be maybe extras charges for this and that? Or are you
looking for someone who offers real good value for money at one price
that’s all-inclusive. Know your budget and stick to it, but at the same
time be open.

Now, you’ve got all that? Next, and the last thing in finding your pet
sitter is, check that they have these three vital components. Do they have
public liability insurance? This ensures that they are protecting their own
ass and taking things a little seriously. Next do they have a police check
clearance or blue card? If so, ask for copies if you feel you need to.
Lastly this is your pet kid’s they’re looking after. Are they qualified and
skilled in pet CPR, and first aid? Just like you wouldn’t hire a baby
sitter without certain serious checks, do so with your pets.

Now that you found your ideal pet sitter, you want to keep this little
nugget for a long, long time. Invest in them. Get to know them as a person.
What are their likes and dislikes? When is their birthday? Are they
married? How many pets, and what types do they have? Give them a tip that
you know they will adore and they will adore you a million fold. Be open to
their suggestions. A lot of pet sitters have a lot of experience with
multiple breeds of dogs, and animals. Please do not be defensive if they
raise a pet behavior problem, due to they have got an objective view point
you will not be able to see. Constructive feedback; take a long-term
approach when you do this. Pet sitters usually work with a lot of different
clients with different expectations that they are juggling. Please we ask
that you be a little forgiving, as unfortunately, we are human too. It’s
all about the long term. Isn’t it? Where you want this person for many,
many years to come, and not have to go ahead and find another pet sitter.
It’s a true way where they should.

why most people call me on Aunty Vanessa? Why I’ve bothered to do that?
Honestly scouts honor. I didn’t start it. My clients did. From there I see
it as badge of honor. Why? I’m now actually and extended member of their
family, that they actually want visiting often. I know their pet kids do.
Anyway, so I just wanted to say thanks for watching, and many blessings to
you and those you love. See you.
