In this episode, I sit down with Isabelle Alvarez Arata to discuss the importance of professional pet sitting, especially in the context of pet anxiety and the challenges of moving. This is right on the heels of my NON professional pet sitter experience and trust me, it was a doozy! We explore the benefits of hiring a professional pet sitter, including their experience, tools, insurance coverage, understanding pet behavior and the need for proper care during stressful times. Isabel shares tips on how to find the right pet sitter and the resources available for pet owners, the importance of understanding the business model of pet sitters, the necessity of backup plans for emergencies, and the value of having a professional who is insured and experienced. We even get into costs associated with pet care services and the risks involved in using technology platforms like Rover and Wag. If you've ever had to hire a sitter, or even asked a friend or relative to sit for you, OR if you're planning on hiring someone for the near future, then this episode is for you!
