Whether you're there for a short stint or settling in for the long haul, if there are pets, they'll be your number one priority. As well as providing care and companionship to the furry family members, your responsibilities are likely to include cleaning, bringing in the mail, and watering the plants. 

All responsibilities should be discussed and agreed upon by both members before the sit starts. It's important to note that pet parents must not ask sitters to complete professional services, such as maintenance work, home redecoration, or admin.
