Make reservations with your pet sitter early, especially during holidays.

Leave a list of phone numbers in case the pet sitter needs to contact service or maintenance companies while you are away; i.e., plumber, electrician, cleaning service, yard maintenance, pool service, etc.
-
Leave pet food and supplies in one place.
-
Provide extra food, litter and other supplies just in case you’re not able to return when planned.

Leave a key with a trustworthy neighbor as a backup, and give him/her and your pet sitter each other's phone numbers. Be sure those extra keys work before giving them out.

MORE TIPS:
Make sure the pet sitter has a phone number where you can be reached.
If inside services are requested, provide the pet sitter with a house key in addition to garage door
openers. If you have new keys made, try them out to make sure they work.
Clean out the refrigerator to avoid smelly food spoilage and wash the dishes in the sink to prevent ants, flies or other pests.
Adjust the thermostat to keep the house comfortable for the pet during your absence. In warm weather, a closed-up house can get dangerously hot in a short time.
Tell the pet sitter of any household areas that are off-limits to your pets or to the pet sitter. Secure access to those areas before leaving home.
