Someone who will come to your home, feed your pet, administer meds, make sure that your pet has company at least for half of the day, and make sure that your pet is safe until you return home. Opening up the Yellow Pages and looking under Pet Care you are dealt with a virtual buffet of names to choose from. Websites such as www.pet-sitters.biz.com can be a great help, as you can easily browse all the profiles of pet sitters in your area, or register to be informed when pet sitters are existing in your area. Most of the pet sitters have worked, or still do work in the field of veterinary medicine, and are skilled at pilling cats, getting a finicky cat to eat, or simply watching out for the very real danger of a pet becoming ill at the absence of the owner.

Make use of the internet and network as well on pet boards and in emails. Also make sure that the person you find will give exemplary care to your pet(s). Once you secure the phone number, call and see if the pet sitter is receptive to meeting you in their home first. This is the best way to gauge the person you wish to entrust your pet(s) to because while you are there, you can observe their animals and make your own determination. Some pet sitters will only meet with you at your home, if that be the case then during that meeting, watch how they interact with your animals, and how your animals respond in kind to them.
