Here are a list of things that should be considered complete before departure:

• Ensure your pet is well socialized and allows strangers to handle him. We must know of any aggressive or protective nature your pets have over the home in the past. In this business safety first for both animal and pet sitter.
  

• Affix current identification tags to your pet's collar.
  

• Maintain current vaccinations for your pet.
  

• Leave clear instructions detailing specific pet-care responsibilities and emergency contact information, including how to reach you and your veterinarian.

• Leave pet food and supplies in one place.
  

• Buy extra pet supplies in case you're away longer than planned.
  

• Finally, have a safe and fun trip. And remember to bring your pet sitter's phone number Sharon (303-233-5028) or
  Lija (303-622-9382) in case your plans change or you just want to find out how pets are doing.
