How To Choose the Right Pet Care Provider for Your Furry Family Member

Whether you're heading out of town or need someone to walk your dog during your busy workdays, finding a pet care provider you trust is so important. After all, our pets are more than just animals—they’re family! ❤️

If you're searching for the purr-fect pet sitter or dog walker in Lake Mary, Sanford, Longwood, Heathrow, Winter Springs, or Debary, here are a few key things to look for when making your choice:

✅ 1. Look for Experience and Training

Choose a provider with experience caring for a variety of pets and situations. Bonus points if they’re trained in pet CPR and first aid—safety is everything! At Lux Pet Sitting, our team is trained, knowledgeable, and prepared for the unexpected.

✅ 2. Check Reviews and References

Word of mouth and online reviews speak volumes. Don’t be afraid to ask for references or check sites like Google or Facebook to read about real client experiences.

✅ 3. Meet & Greet Before Booking

A reputable pet care company will offer a complimentary meet & greet so you can get to know the sitter or walker, and see how they interact with your pet. It's also a great time to review routines, feeding, medications, and any quirks your pet may have!

✅ 4. Make Sure They’re Insured and Bonded

Protect your home and your pet by choosing a provider who is licensed, insured, and bonded. It’s peace of mind you shouldn’t compromise on!

✅ 5. Communication is Key

Look for a provider who keeps you updated with visit reports, photos, and messages. At Lux Pet Sitting, we use a professional app that tracks arrival times, walk routes, feeding notes, and more—so you always feel connected.

✅ 6. Local Knowledge is a Bonus

A local company that knows the area (and the Florida weather!) is better equipped to handle last-minute changes, traffic, or unexpected storms. Our sitters live right here in Seminole County—we’re your neighbors!

Trust Your Gut

Ultimately, you want to feel comfortable and confident in the person caring for your pet. If something feels off, keep looking. Your furry friend deserves the best!

At Lux Pet Sitting, we treat every pet like our own. Whether you need reliable midday dog walks, pet sitting while you're away, or just someone to check in during the day, we’re here to help—tail wags guaranteed!
