Petsitting

I have been pet sitting for a few years now. My first (and most frequent) client was Buttercup and his family. Buttercup is a wonderful bunny, and he was a great pet to learn on.
I think pet sitting is great for learning about responsibility. Also, you can learn about caring for that animal, and see if it would make a good pet for you. If you are a kid, and considering a career with animals, pet sitting might be a great first job. Also you can earn some money from it, which is a nice reward for your hard work.
To be good at taking care of a pet, especially if you haven’t had experience with that type of pet before, you should ask the owner lots of questions. You should learn about how much food to give, how many times to come over, etc… It is best to try to arrange a time to meet the pet and the family before they leave. I have found that it is good to bring a pencil and notebook to this meeting to take notes. You should learn the family’s phone number and their vet information. This way, you’ll be prepared for anything.
