Editorial Review: Product Description: Nothing can replace home as the best and least-traumatic place to leave a dog when an owner goes away. And leaving a dog at home requires hiring a dog sitter to either stay at the house or come in periodically to care for them. This handbook is designed to offer owners peace of mind by informing the dog sitter about the peculiarities of a dog and its daily requirements, while also giving valuable information about general pet care. The easy-to-use handbook format lets the owner fill in appropriate information about their dog's food, walking schedule, toys, rules, favorite chair, medication, etc. The text of the book consists of an orientation on general dog behavior; tips on dealing with behavior problems; and what to do in case of an emergency. There is also a valuable section on how to give a dog medication, while also allowing the owner to write in specific directions, and a section on emergency medical care for dogs. This handbook minimizes a pet's stress when it is left in another's care, and gives owners peace-of-mind as their personal instructions and advise are clearly outlined and easy to follow. Average Rating:
 Rating:  - Wrong point of view?I read some of the other's reviews of this book. And it apparently was not what they were looking for. I can't understand why that is. What could be more important than a book that details your customer's fears regarding your services? Its a treasure trove of ideas for shaping your business and laser targeting your USP. Rating:  - Comforting to owner, useless to pet sitterThis small book was written to comfort owners. Thinking about having a sitter come into your house to care for your pets is a stressful thought - what if they forget something? What if they break/steal something? What if they forget to come? But basically if your pet sitter isn't asking for all this information in this book on his/her own without the book then you are in grave trouble. Professional sitters cost more than the "kid down the street" because they DON'T forget to come, ... Read More Rating: - good book to leave with your sitterI think this book included a lot of information the sitter should know that I had not yet thought of. I think it is good for someone who is pet sitting the way they would baby sit, not as a pet sitting service, but sitting occasionally, which is how many people do sit. There are many books out there for "professional" pet sitters who have a pet sitting business, but nothing else for those who occasionally sit. I feel this book caters to those people where none others do. And it's a helpful little ... Read More Rating:  - Note from a Pet SitterIf your pet sitter isn't asking about your pets needs and behaviors before agreeing to care for your pet, you're in trouble. As a pet sitter, having a client hand me their Dog Sitter's Handbook would be useless. Not only do I not have the time to read it, but I would already have asked all of these questions of the owner directly. The only use I can see to this book is if you are hiring a "free" pet sitter such as a neighbor or friend. Even so, it would be a lot easier for them if you wrote everything ... Read More Rating: - A helpful and thoughtful book to leave for your Dog SitterMy only complaint with this little book (and the reason I gave it 4 stars instead of 5) is that it is too small for the purpose. The information provided is excellent and would help a Dog Sitter tremendously, especially the fill-in-the-blank pages that really personalize this book. This great book deserves to be much larger in format instead of a super small 'gifty' size...but it's still no reason not to purchase this book and use it over and over again! I have dog-sat in the past and wished I had a little ... Read More
