A Day in the Life of a Dog Sitter

Dog Sitters visit dogs in clients’ homes for drop‑in visits (30, 45, or 60 minutes, once or twice daily or for 10‑hour overnight stays) or dog walks (30, 60, or 90‑minute private walks or 60‑minute group walks). Before your first sitting visit, you’ll meet each client and their dog in person for a meet‑and‑greet in their home, winning them over with a warm smile, a demeanor and professional approach.

You’ll go over the whole care routine, finding where things are in the home, and discuss contingency plans for emergencies. At the sittings, you will follow the client’s instructions, socialize with the dog, leave the home spotless, and delight the client by sending daily update to them via our pet‑sitting app.)

Walking:

Complete small tasks like watering plants, collecting mail, and taking out trash.
