Members must generally love animals and have experience of owning/caring for them.
Members who offer to board dogs should not board dogs from more than one owner at one time unless all owners know and have agreed to this.
Members engaged in dog boarding, house/petsitting should not leave dogs/pets or property unattended except for very short periods as agreed with the owners or in an emergency situation (we feel that dogs should not be left for a longer period of 4 hours). Day visits are not acceptable if dogs are then to be left unattended at night.
Members should arrange to meet with the owners well in advance of the booking and ensure that petsitters terms and conditions and forms of authority are understood and signed by owners. (A template of all forms is supplied as part of the membership package)

Members are required to obtain a valid police check certificate if they hold keys to or have access to clients property for the purpose of pet/house sitting, dog walking or other services that would require you to enter the owners home.
Members must keep proper records of all work undertaken. We recommend that petsitters acquire a basic understanding of animal training, first aid and general care for pets for which they are responsible.
