At first this process may seem a little daunting but do not worry the head office staff will guide you every step of the way ensuring that you are completely in control and happy with the process.

4. What do you have to do?

What do I do as a Home Sitter?

Essentially you stay in other people‘s homes and look after their pets and possessions whilst they are away. You simply live in their home, love, walk, feed, and groom their pets, maintain light household duties i.e. water house plants and answer the phone. You do NOT undertake any labour work.

If there is a jacuzzi, swimming pool or gym, providing we have the permission from the client, you are free to use their facilities. Any time that you are not carrying out your pet associated duties, you are free to remain on the client‘s premises or explore the local area. We request that you do not exceed any period away from the client‘s property for more than six hours per day (usually 2 x three non-consecutive hours) during daylight and one hour after dark unless prior permission has been agreed with the client.

What do I do as a Pet Boarder?

Essentially you look after our client‘s pet/s in YOUR home. The client will provide the food, the bedding and toys etc; all you have to do is love, walk, feed & groom the pet/s essentially you maintain their routines. You are simply paid to provide grooming, feeding, watering, walking, and most of all, tender loving care whilst the pet lives in your home.

What do I do as a Cat Feeder / Dog Walker?

Usually dog walking or cat feeding; essentially you look after our client‘s pet/s in their own homes. Pet Visitors are expected to undertake no more than one hour‘s responsibilities during each visit.

You visit the client‘s home (which maintains security) and you simply feed and provide water to pets, clear / change litter, take dog/s for a walk (as per the clients specification), and most of all, provide companionship and tender loving care.

You may additionally be requested to close and open curtains / blinds, take in the mail / newspapers, lights on and off.

You are Assured

Using our ‘Briefing the Guardian Angel‘ form, the client will provide you with all important information for pet care and emergency action. Thus you can be assured that in the event of anything happening you will have complete and concise instructions of what to do in the event that you can not contact the client.

You may take your partner or spouse with you on your assignment provided they have completed the vetting process beforehand and that the client has given their permission.
