How can I ensure my safety as a pet sitter?

Pet sitters, like professionals in any field, may face potential risks. Unfortunately, domestic animals are still animals and may react instinctively to defend themselves when they feel threatened.

How can you avoid danger? Here are some key points to help ensure your safety as a pet sitter:

  1. Ask pet owners for detailed information.
  2. Ask open-ended questions.
  3. Invest in your education.
  4. Maintain hygiene.
  5. Accept only vaccinated and dewormed animals.

    This helps protect you and other animals under your care from preventable diseases and health risks.

  6. Respect the pet’s personal space.
  7. Be aware of potential dangers.
