Pet and home sitters look after animals and property while the owner is away, either by visiting or by staying in. On The SteelToe App you can find pet & home sitting listed by town, with phone numbers, free and without an account.
The service ranges from a daily drop-in to feed and walk, through dog walking, to a live-in sitter who also takes in post and keeps the house occupied. Medication, older animals and animals that need company for most of the day all change what is realistic.
Ask whether they are insured and whether they hold keys securely. Ask for a meet-and-greet before you book, and watch how your animal reacts, which tells you more than any credential. Ask about medication if it applies, and agree in writing what happens if your animal needs a vet while you are away, including who pays.
List your business free. You get your phone number, your website, the towns you cover and what you specialize in, plus an ordinary followed link back to your own site. There is no charge when somebody calls you.
