Tip from Liana with Wet Noses Pet Sitting

If you work with a pet sitter or dog walker, how often do you discuss with them any pet issues or questions you have? Not often enough! The truth is, we are such a part of your lives that people often do not think to mention any problems or concerns they are having when we are not there.

Tip: Use your pet sitter as a resource!

We want you to ask us questions and let us know what is going on with your pets. Our mission is to improve the lives of your pets as much as possible, not just when we are there. That means we are happy to brainstorm with you to come up with ideas to improve your pet’s lives whenever we can.

Reasons to ask your pet sitter questions:

• We work with your pets in your home, so we are more likely to get a clear idea of their normal behavior.
• We are around your pets regularly, not just occasionally like a veterinarian.
• We see a wide variety of animals every day, week and month! We have seen what other people are doing with their pets, what works, and what doesn’t.
• Our sitters have animal expertise in addition to being pet sitters. Some are groomers, vet techs, worked in shelters, provided foster care, volunteered and much more. They have experience with a variety of pet problems already.
• We know the community. Every day we hear about veterinarians, groomers, trainers and other pet experts. We often talk with them, see them at events, interview them for a series like this and generally get to know them and their expertise. When you need a recommendation for a new pet expert in your life we will be able to suggest a person that we know will be a good match for you and your pets, based on knowing you really well!
