Dude's Pet Squad

Pet First Aid and CPR Certified

Are they properly trained to assist your pet should they be injured or fall ill? Look for Pet First Aid Certification and Pet CPR Certification! This means that they have completed the necessary courses, and are better equipped to help your pet should something happen, from a minor scrape to an emergency vet visit.


Insurance
Are they insured? In the unforeseen event that something goes wrong, can they cover issues or damages financially? While no one wants to think about the worst happening, it is important to keep this in mind when selecting a pet sitter.


Experience and Testimonials

How long have they been working with pets/animals? Is it a career for them, or just an area of interest? Do other clients have good things to say about them?

You can often tell from speaking directly with a sitter, but don’t hesitate to ask questions to assure that they have the experience you are looking for!
