Want to work on your dog grooming skills and earn more on the side with the most fun job in the world? The tips below will help you build trust with dog owners so that you get more requests. Of course, a dog owner is more likely to choose a nice and trusted dog sitter, rather than someone where this bond of trust is slightly less good.... So quickly read through the tips below!
- Be honest about the click
For a dog owner, leaving his or her precious pet in the care of a stranger is quite exciting. Fortunately, through Petbnb you can request a 'Meet and Greet' and find out if there is a click. Our tip is to stay calm and don't impose! Dogs sometimes need time to get used to someone. If there is no click between you, the dog and/or the owner, be honest about it. If you do not feel comfortable with a dog, it is better to choose a dog you do feel comfortable with.
2. Communication
Clear communication is very important before and during a babysitting experience. If you are unsure about something, it is best to just check with the owner. Through our app you can stay in touch 24/7 and share photos and videos. Of course, you don't have to spam the dog owner constantly, but it's nice if the owner receives updates from time to time!
3. Ask questions and be open to receive questions
Ask questions of the dog owner, such as: "What time does the dog usually eat?", "Can the dog run loose?", "Can I give the dog dog treats?", "What words does the dog know while walking?" These all contribute to a positive babysitting experience. In addition, be open to receive questions.
4. Talk about your experiences
Do you have a lot of babysitting experience? Then don't be too modest, because let's face it you as a dog owner would rather go for someone with a lot of experience, right? Petbnb.co.uk fortunately allows owners to see previous reviews. The more often you babysit, the more reviews you will get and the more requests you will receive!
5. Establish a comprehensive profile and update your calendar regularly
The more information you put online, the faster the dog owner can assess whether you are a suitable sitter. Add clear pictures of yourself, pictures with other dogs and of your living environment. It is also important to update your calendar regularly, so the owner knows when you are free! This definitely helps if you want to earn a little more on the side as a sitter.
