HOW DO I TALK TO MY PET SITTER? Or making a comfortable transition to PETZcheckIN®...
- Start by letting the pet sitter know you value their hard, careful work on behalf of your pets.
- Help them to understand that you worry when you can’t care for your pets. All pet lovers worry when they are not there to care for them- just like parents.
- Let them know that you are not “spying” on them. You understand that occasionally issues arise in life that might take precedence.
- Having a backup system is a safety measure for all of you. For your pet sitter, it helps them to be able to juggle all that life tosses up and eases the communication burden with you.
- For you, it gives peace of mind without requiring constant oversight. The sitter can now give you and your pets the gift of security.
- Your pets will know you are gone, but they know they are safe in their familiar, comfortable, secure environment- their home, they will be happy.
How did I talk to my pet sitter?
My pet sitter is Dawn, when we first talked about this site, she said “well you won’t use it, will you?” And I said I would, she was a little shocked and perhaps a bit miffed, then asked “why?” I explained I had a long term sitter who became inconsistent, and only because my parents were also checking, were my horses fed and let out of their stalls. I had trusted my previous pet sitter, but some circumstances arose and she couldn’t feed until much too late in the day.
 We’ve all had issues when we cannot keep a commitment, unfortunately, animals become the victim and the pet owner has no way to find out- until PETZcheckIN®. I use this service because I worry (a lot) about my animals when I’m away, even when I know and trust the pet sitter (I even use the reminder call for my parents). It gives me the extra level of security, knowing there is a layer of back-up for those moments when circumstances interfere with plans. I know my pets will be safe and their security is covered with PETZcheckIN®!
Pet Parents ...Tips
If you have a pet sitter you use and like:
- Compliment their work and reliability.
- Tell them you found a web service which sends reminder calls so you, the pet parent can eliminate the worry about telling the pet sitter.
- Allows the pet sitter to see their individual pet sitting schedule.
- Has a great feature called ePETZid™ which has all the important information in one place, it can never get lost or misplaced! It's a great pet safety measure!
- Accidents and sickness happen - no need to worry, a back-up plan is already in place, myPETZnet™.
- Ask them to look at the web site to see all the features available.
- Let them know that a history is kept on the calendar so there will never be a question when it comes to billing- you both will know when they were there.
YOU WILL ALWAYS KNOW YOUR PET IS SAFE AND SECURE!
