Our pet sitter is certified and bonded. Her employees are, as well. I don’t think it’s necessary if you have someone you already know and trust, but the relatives that we knew and trusted didn’t always come through for us. Our pet nanny met with us for about an hour, went through the house identifying locations of fuse boxes, etc., noted veterinarian name/location, cat carriers, local emergency contacts, etc. She sends us resumes of any new hires and doesn’t use them for us unless we approve. The sitter emails pictures and leaves notes after every 30-minute visit. We all love our sitters!
Our vet tech offered to pet sit, and I’d also trust her.
