How is their business structured? Are they a sole proprietor, partnership, corporation - or do they not even have a business actually in place? The key here is to make sure you’re dealing with a registered organization. If it ends up you’re dealing with just an individual that has no business filed within the state of your residence, it may be harder to accomplish things with the authorities should anything out of the ordinary happen.
Will they visit your home before the first assignment to meet the pets and get detailed information about their care? It’s strongly recommended that this be done so that not only can they get to know your animals, but also for you to evaluate them in person as a responsible and caring provider. As opposed to a phone conversation, a face-to-face meeting is typically a much more effective and efficient process for understanding if there’s a good match between you and the pet care organization.
Do they exhibit courtesy and professionalism in all dealings with customers, staff, and industry colleagues to positively represent their company and the pet care industry? Luckily, many of the people in the pet care profession are in it for the love of animals. However, there are, unfortunately, always a few that may not have have the same motivation. If you aren’t being treated professionally, it could be very likely they’re also not exhibiting courtesy and professionalism towards your pets while you’re away.
