I’m planning a weekend away and really want someone I can trust to look after my dog. I’ve had bad experiences before with sitters who just fed him and left, so I’m nervous. How do you find someone reliable and caring?

It’s really important to me that the sitter actually interacts with my dog, sticks to his routine, and keeps me updated so I’m not constantly worrying while I’m gone.

She came to meet all my pets and learned their routines, which made me immediately confident. While reviewing her profile online, I found https://www.facebook.com/lesleyspetsitters, and it explained all the great reviews I’d heard. During the week, she sent updates and photos, and my pets were relaxed and happy the whole time. It felt like they were being cared for by someone who truly understood their needs.
