How to Browse on the Marketplace
Filters that matter for finding the right sitter:
- Care model. Drop-in vs. in-home vs. overnight changes the price and the experience. Filter first.
- Species. Reptile and exotic sitters are a specialty. Cat-only sitters often beat generalists for territorial cats.
- Medication and special-needs experience. Diabetic, post-surgical, and senior pets need experienced sitters.
- Service area and travel radius. Local sitters with tight service areas tend to be more reliable than ones who travel an hour each way.
What to Look For When Hiring a Sitter
- PSI or NAPPS credentialing. Pet Sitters International and National Association of Professional Pet Sitters are the major credentialing bodies. Membership signals professional commitment.
- Bonding and liability insurance. Bonded means protected against theft; insured covers accidents. Professional sitters carry both.
- Background check. Sitters are in your home. A current background check is non-negotiable.
- Meet-and-greet before booking. Reputable sitters require a pre-booking meeting. Pets meet sitter, sitter sees the routine, you both confirm fit.
- Written care plan. Feeding times, medication, exercise, behavioral notes, emergency contacts, and vet info, all documented before the first visit.
- Communication during the stay. Daily photo updates, GPS check-ins, or scheduled calls. The right cadence depends on you; the willingness to provide it depends on the sitter.
