Just briefly as I know our helpful members will give your more detailed help and advice. Children in the home: We have wonderful families who sit in fact @Debbie is a Mum with two boys who love to spend time sitting with animals, the boys are included in the family profile.
The choice of sitter is entirely up to the Pet Parent/Owner and that choice should be based on the sitter’s profile, application and subsequent conversations.
The time away from pets and home is according to your pets needs and your expectations, all of this should be discussed with potential sitters before any arrangement is agreed.
Your listing is the guide to your pets and home for potential sitters and there are articles on the website to help pet parents/owners create the best that they can >>>
