Can a sitter give oral, topical or injectable medications?
Many sitters can give pills, topical treatments and insulin injections, but not all, so list every medicine in your request. Leave your vet's written instructions with doses and times. The sitter should follow them exactly, note each dose, and never change a dose without your vet.
How often will I get photo and status updates?
You get a photo or status update after every visit, usually two to four a day on a regular schedule. Updates come straight to your phone, and no special app is needed.
How long is a drop-in visit?
Usually 20 to 30 minutes. Ask the sitter what fits in each visit.
Can I book visits only on some days?
Yes. Tell us which days and times in your request.
