We connect you with pet parents, helping you to market and grow your pet sitting business. Pet sitter jobs are fun and rewarding if you love animals, but there is also a lot of responsibility involved. For example, you will be expected to feed, water, play with and keep a close watch over the animals in your care. Your clients may have specific requests for their furry friends, such as brushing, giving a bath or administering medication. Furthermore, you will need to send daily photo updates and messages to your clients during the pet sitting job. Some pet sitters also offer extra services such as watering plants and bringing in mail.
