How to Thank Your Dog Walker / Pet Sitter

How to Thank Your Pet Sitter

While tips and gifts are never expected, they are ALWAYS appreciated. Our sitters work very hard and it really puts a smile on our faces when we know we’re appreciated. Here are some tips on how to thank your sitter…

Tipping: Cash is always best. As a rule of thumb, tipping 10-20% is customary in the service industry, however, it’s entirely up to you how much you’d like to give. Please do be sure to clearly label any cash tips!

Gifts: Yes, we would love a gift from your trip or treats for our own pets! Again, gifts are not expected.. but who doesn’t love them?

Other Ways to Thank Your Sitter: 

A simple ‘Thank You’ – Nothing makes us feel better than to hear your satisfaction directly or in a journal/note. Handwritten notes are extra special and tangible. Please also let our supervisor know of your satisfaction!

Referrals – The best gift you can give is a referral to your friends, family and neighbors. BCPS dog walking or pet sitting credits to you and your friend for booked referrals. https://www.brewcitypetservices.com/services-and-rates/discount-programs/

Positive Reviews / Recommendations on Social Media – This is huge now…! A review on Yelp! or Google really helps us grow and expand our resources. We appreciate any and all positive reviews. https://www.brewcitypetservices.com/about-us/reviewstestimonials/
