Before you begin.
Still working out the details? Start with a clear brief and ask the helper about the parts that matter to you.
Can I arrange a meet-and-greet first?
Yes. Agree a suitable introduction to discuss the pet’s routine, behaviour and the practical details before the first visit or walk.
Are walks always one-to-one?
No. Ask whether the helper offers solo or group walks, and agree the arrangement that suits your pet.
What instructions should I provide?
Include the usual routine, feeding or walk instructions, contact details and an agreed emergency plan. Share home access details privately.
Will I receive updates?
Agree the update format and frequency before starting. A short message or photo after a visit can be included in the scope.
YOUR NEXT STEP

Another way to work together: exchange time.
Agree an hour of your own skills for an hour of theirs. Explore direct time exchange. Local work, especially childcare, still needs the right safeguards. Read the checks and safer-hiring guide.
