Why Should I Schedule My Pet Sitting Services In Advance?
![]() May 20, 2014 - By Kelly’s Pet
Sitting At a
minimum you should schedule your pet sitting visits at least a week in advance
when it’s not a holiday, at least 2-4 weeks when you will be needing visits
during a holiday period. Summer is also a high demand time when people schedule vacations. What is the point to scheduling early? First
and foremost it greatly increases
your chances of your pet sitter having availability. Pet sitting is scheduled
on a “first come, first serve” basis because we only have so many hours in the
day and can’t be everywhere at one time. If you get on the books far in
advance, you don’t have to worry about your sitter being available or not. Secondly,
it is courteous. Contrary to popular belief pet sitters do have lives outside
of taking care of everyone’s pets all day. We have friends, family and other
personal obligations that we do our best to schedule around our pet sitting
visits. When a last minute request for pet sitting comes in, often times in
order to meet those needs your pet sitter has to give up something they had
already planned. While
we, and the vast majority of pet sitters, do our best to accommodate last
minute requests we so greatly appreciate and value the clients who take the
time to be prepared and schedule their pet sitting services 1-4 weeks ahead of
time. |
