Planning for first pet sitter to come

[Karen_E]

Hi @orangele2003. Welcome to our community! This forum is a great place to get all of your pet sitting questions answered.

You bring up some great questions, some of which have been discussed in the past. Regarding what you might do about things you don’t want sitters to access, here are two of those other conversations:

How to/whether to explain/mention a locked room

I have a home office. Due to the need to keep confidential files absolutely confidential, I always lock the office door whenever we have friends or family visiting. I intend to do the same when my sitter comes, What advice do you have for how to talk about this locked door with my sitter?

A discussion on locked rooms

We always had people ask us about our personal items as well (paperwork, bedroom, etc.). What we did was put a lock on our office door and bedroom door which holds most important personal belongings. This alleviated the need to even think about it, and mostly, the sitter never has to worry about anyone thinking they are rummaging through things…it’s a win win for both sides.

I hope they help!
