Hiring the right Pet Sitter
A Pet Sitter is someone who cares for your critters. When selecting a caregiver, remember this rule:
A person that is caring, experienced, and responsible is superior to an overextended, frazzled,
pre-occupied person.
Acquaintance vs. Professional
Before you relinquish your pet's health, safety and obedience training to someone you know,
consider whether you'll expect as much from them as you would from a professional.
When you combine the time expectations of caring for your pet with your own high
standards, it may not be the best idea to rely on a personal friend or neighbor.
A professional Pet Sitter should be bonded and insured.
They should belong to the National Association of Professional Pet Sitters.

Always ask for references and take time to call those references.
Most of all, go with your gut. If you're uncomfortable for any reason,
press on until you find the sitter that's right for you.
Your pet is a great judge of character, let them help you with the process.

Separation Anxiety 
Your pet may experience behavior changes when left home alone. They may destroy your favorite pillow, shirt, shoe, or other objects that contain your scent. The most common destructive behavior that dogs with separation anxiety exhibit is destructive escape behavior, in which the pet is trying to reach you. This behavior can be directed towards doors, windows, walls or even crate doors. NEVER punish a fearful pet by yelling or spanking, this can worsen the anxiety. Dealing with anxiety before it happens is the best solution.... When you are away, leave the radio or TV playing. Most of my pets request Animal Planet. "Nothing is more distressing to a pet left home alone than the sound of silence." When arriving at your home for a visit, I approach your pet by calling their name. Always speaking softly and upbeat. They receive hugs and alot of affection. I like them to have some type of activity, whether a walk or playing in a fenced in area. I have never met a pet I didn't fall in love with. I try to comfort them as much as possible. I have found that animals respond best to in-home care. While you are away they want to sleep in their own beds, and eat out of their own bowl. They don't want to be stuck in a crate all day. Most of my client were afraid to leave their pets at home unattended the first time until they tried our service, now they would never go back to boarding.
