After talking with a sitter if you feel you would like to meet them with your pet, arrange a visit at your home so they can meet with your dog and you can check their paperwork and sign service contracts or forms that will need to be filled in .

Your pet sitter should ask you to fill in a booking form where you can give all the relevant details about your pet including vet details, emergency contact numbers, return dates and times, medication information, notes about how the sitter should deal with certain behaviour the pet displays and also your dog walking service contract.
