What are a pet sitter's duties?

A pet sitter cares for one or more pets while their owner is away. This type of care can be provided in your home or in the owner's home for a given period of time, from just a few hours to an entire weekend or several weeks.

Providing pet sitting services means filling in for the owner in his or her absence for the following tasks:

• Feeding and watering animals
• Playing with them and keeping them company
• Walking the dogs
• Grooming and brushing the animals' coats
• Changing the cat's litter box
• Providing health care if necessary
• Giving them affection, so they don't feel abandoned after their owner leaves
• Sending photos to assure customers that all is well

Pet sitting versus home sitting, what's the difference?

Pet sitters may also take care of the homeowner's house by picking up the mail, providing cleaning and maintenance, watering the plants and mowing the lawn, etc. These duties are more generally known as house sitting. In addition to pet sitting, the house sitter lives in the home while the residents are away. This also helps keep burglars away!
