Before the Sit Begins
Prepare for a smooth handover with this checklist:
Create a Welcome Guide
Digital Welcome Guide
Create a comprehensive guide for your sitter that includes everything they need to know. You can create this from your booking details page.
- • Daily routines and schedules
- • Feeding instructions and portions
- • Walk routes and duration
- • House rules and WiFi password
- • Local recommendations
During the Sit
Stay Connected
Use the in-app messaging to check in and receive updates. Most sitters send daily photos and updates.
Be Available
Make sure you're reachable in case the sitter has questions or there's an emergency.
Trust Your Sitter
You've chosen them for a reason. Avoid micromanaging - let them care for your pets their way.
After the Sit
Once the sit is complete:
- 1
Leave a Review
Share your experience to help other hosts. Be fair and honest.
- 2
Check Your Home
Ensure everything is in order. Report any issues promptly.
- 3
Add a Tip (Optional)
If your sitter went above and beyond, consider adding a tip.
