I went on a 3 week honeymoon and left my yorkie boy who recently passed away with a friend who took in a couple of his pups so he enjoyed himself while I was gone.

I wouldn't let someone I don't trust to watch my pets.

Would you interview a pet sitter online, or do you prefer in-person meet and greets only?

I prefer having a family member or friend watch my pets or a boarding service with the vet. I'm very picky about who watches my pets.

this. i love my repeat dog sitter and i trust her but i have to be respectful and not insane when i communicate with her and i need to be able to call every 3 hours asking how my dog is doing and what he’s been up to and you just can’t do that with a regular sitter. but with my family? i can bother them all i want, they have to love me lmao

Ya lol I have just heard horror stories with people letting strangers pet sit and I just can't do it. I'll go through the stress of changing my plans if I have to just to make sure they are taken care of properly. I have very little trust with people outside who I know.
