In reference to your question, you can find many posts on this topic. Just hover over the spyglass and then type in your question. You can choose “welcome basket” for each of them. We usually asked if they drank beer or wine and if so, we always included a bottle of wine and/or beers in the fridge to help start the sit. We also added various snacks and breakfast bars so they didn’t need to worry about rushing out to the store as soon as they arrived. We also included local maps, magazines and menus for local spots for dining. Now that we are sitters, we have found that most pet parents typically do the same thing. None of this is mandatory or necessary, but always appreciated.
