DOG-Sitter Caution
As you’ll learn in this dog-blog, we might not be human, but we know what humans get up to—especially those our mum has had dog-sit us, previously. Looking for the perfect dog-sitter is like looking for a super nanny: not an easy task. Many start off well, and then…
Susan found an ad. for a sitter of ours posted on a neighborhood tree. This young woman, without a clear business track record (doggy or otherwise) was too convenient, available, and reasonably priced to be true. And what’s too good to be true usually is. Anyone, these days, seems to be able to say they’re a "dog-sitter."
Humans, frequently short on time and energy, don’t investigate properly and base their selections on superficialities. We caution them not to! There are rogues in every field, and just because you might think someone loves animals, that doesn’t preclude them. Besides, when you allow someone in your home to pick-up your pet, it’s not only canine kind that’s at risk. Half of all crimes are carried out by those we know/trust, as US government reports confirm.
Also, take the time to read the small print of any care-giving agreements carefully, and understand the context of the terms "bonded and insured." Otherwise, you might not have a paw to stand on if anything happens to your precious pooch—or home.
