Would you hire a stranger to take care of your pets while you are on vacation?

jujubeeeees: Would you hire a stranger to take care of your pets while you are on vacation?
What if the stranger was a very responsible 15 1/2 year old girl who gets good grades, is respectful, overall a good kid and charged around $ 7/day for pet-sitting? And I wouldn’t actually STAY in your house to take care of pets, I would drive to your house every few hours to care for pets,water plants and get mail? What if the pet-sitter planned a visit with you first to get to know you and your pet and got care instructions from you?? Would you hire this person?

I would take your dog to a boarding facility. Try to get one where you can see where your animal will be staying. I work at a boarding facility and I make sure the animals are being cared for properly. At least then, you would know that everything is okay.

well first your going to need more than 7$ just to make it up in gas,charge about 20$ that is really cheap even though it might not seem like it,trust me if you just charge 7$ they will take advantage of you…

Answer by hipseniormoviechick
I would consider after interviewing. I would want to know if she has pets; what kind, how many. Has she had previous experience pet sitting outside of her home, etc. If I like her and get good responses to my questions and my baby, Miracle likes her, that is a very good start.
