When it comes to your fur babies, you should be fussy about who you entrust their care to. They are a big part of your family, and when you can't be with them, you want them to be with a carer they are comfortable (and settled) with.
And if you're inviting your pet minder into your home to feed your pets, walk them or keep them company, you also need to have trust in them.
Pet minders can offer various services, from home visits, walking and feeding to in-home care (at your house or the minder's house).
If you need your pet to stay at the pet minder's house, ask about the other animals they have in care and see if your fur baby will feel at ease. Sometimes, a pet minder may have multiple animals at once, and your beloved fur baby may find it overwhelming (especially if they're not great in social situations).
The top 10 questions to ask your pet minder to check their suitability
When meeting a pet minder for the first time, ask them: 'Do you…'

Volunteer at any animal shelters
Offer extra services like house sitting (mail collection, plant watering etc.)
Offer house visits only, or can you stay at my house with my animals
