pet sitter

 Just as much as you are interviewing a potential pet sitter, they are interviewing you as well. You always want to make sure to thoroughly vet your pet sitter and make sure they will be a good fit for your pet and for you. Each pet sitter and pet sitting company probably operates a bit differently from each other, as there is no right way to run a pet sitting company, but there are some basics that should be in place when selecting a pet sitter.

Q&A:
How to determine a dog's age:
1st year of a dog= 15 dog years
2nd year of a dog= 9 more dog years (24)
After each human year, add about 5 dog years*
     Ex:  -3 years= 29 dog years
             -4 years=34 dog years
*This is an approximation estimate
