Is pet sitting better than boarding for my cat?
For most cats, staying home with a sitter avoids the stress of transport and an unfamiliar environment. Cats are territorial and often cope poorly with a kennel setting. The trade-off is that your cat is alone between visits, so ask how long each visit lasts and whether more than one visit a day is available.
Should my pet sitter be insured and bonded?
Ask. There is no provincial licensing requirement for pet sitting in Ontario, so it varies by operator. Liability insurance covers damage or injury during the booking, and bonding covers theft. Established sitters can usually show proof of both, along with references you can contact.
How do I hand over keys safely?
Arrange it at the meet-and-greet rather than on the day you leave. Common approaches are a lockbox at the property, a coded entry system, or keys handed over in person with a written record. Ask what the sitter does with keys between bookings and whether they are labelled with your address — they should not be.
What happens if my sitter gets sick during my trip?
Ask before booking. Sitters working through an agency usually have backup coverage arranged. Independent sitters may have an informal arrangement with another sitter, or none at all. Knowing the answer in advance is more useful than discovering it mid-trip.
How many visits a day does my pet need?
It depends on the animal. Cats are commonly covered with one visit a day, sometimes two for medication or company. Dogs left at home generally need at least three visits or an overnight sitter, since they cannot be left alone for a full day. Discuss it honestly with the sitter rather than choosing the cheapest option.
