Here’s how our sitters actually approach this in the field, not just the textbook version. Here’s a closer look, based on what our team sees across the Valley every week.
What matters most
When it comes to how to prepare your home for a pet sitter, consistency and clear communication between sitter and owner make the biggest difference in outcomes.
How we handle it
Every visit includes a GPS-tracked check-in and a written report through our client portal, so you always know exactly what happened and when — this applies whether it’s a routine visit or something a little more involved.
The bottom line
If you’re navigating how to prepare your home for a pet sitter and want a second opinion from a team that handles this daily across the Valley, we’re happy to talk it through during a free meet & greet.

The Walkthrough Worth Doing Before the First Visit
Walk your sitter through the home in person before the first solo visit — show them where supplies are kept, how locks and alarms work, and introduce them to your pet on neutral terms rather than leaving them to figure it out from written notes alone.
See How to Leave Clear Instructions for Your Sitter for what to include in the written notes that follow.
