Just as much as you are interviewing a potential pet sitter, they are interviewing you as well. You always want to make sure to thoroughly vet your pet sitter and make sure they will be a good fit for your pet and for you. Each pet sitter and pet sitting company probably operates a bit differently from each other, as there is no right way to run a pet sitting company, but there are some basics that should be in place when selecting a pet sitter.

We will be talking about why our cats like to hang out and sleep in high places. We all know cats can be fussy creatures and this attitude extends to their sleeping habits as well. Many owners have gone out and bought plush, expensive beds only for their pampered cats to refuse to sleep on them. Are they just being fussy or is there an ulterior motive for this behavior?

French bulldogs are one of a kind with their large bat ears and even-keel disposition, it is no wonder they are now the most popular dog breed in the US.
