Understand that as a pet sitter, you are going to have times that you feel overwhelmed, stressed out or just dog-tired…it's normal! But, always keep in mind why you began pet sitting in the first place. Most likely, your love for animal and desire to be your own boss were driving factors.

Most cats find going to a cattery very stressful, hence hiring a trusted cat sitter is a great alternative. All cat carers love kitties and look forward to spending time with them, so it's a reliable way of providing conscientious, affectionate and practical in-home cat care while you are away.

You should always tip your Pet Caregiver, but how much should you tip? You should tip your Pet Caregiver anywhere from 10% to 25% of the overall cost of a service, just as you would with any other service job. You could even tip more than 25% if your dog walker, sitter, or boarder has gone above and beyond.
