Pet Sitting in Ossining — FAQ
What should I include in instructions for my pet sitter?
Prepare a written sheet covering: feeding schedule and exact portions, medication names, doses, and timing, your vet's name and number, the nearest 24-hour emergency animal hospital, your cell and a backup contact, any behavioral quirks (fear of thunder, door-darting), where leashes, food, and first aid supplies are kept, and your WiFi password. Write down the ASPCA Animal Poison Control number (888-426-4435) — it is the fastest resource if your pet ingests something unknown. The more detail you provide, the more confidently your Ossining sitter can handle unexpected situations.
What certifications should a pet sitter have?
Look for pet sitters certified through Pet Sitters International (PSI) or the National Association of Professional Pet Sitters (NAPPS). Both organizations require members to carry insurance, pass a pet care exam, and commit to continuing education. PSI and NAPPS sitters can also complete Pet First Aid and CPR certification — a valuable credential for anyone caring for your animals while you are away. Certification is not required in Westchester County, but it is a meaningful signal of professionalism.
