  • You must inform us of anyone who may have access to your home while you are away. This includes but is not limited to: friends, neighbors, relatives, and other service personnel who may enter your residence for any purpose. Hudson's Hounds NYC is not liable for the acts of third parties, whether known or unknown.

  • Consider where the sitter sleep and leave clean sheets for them. Most clients have us sleep in a bed or pullout sofa bed.

  • Are there any behaviors that your sitter may need to know about? Does your dog panic at the doorbell? Do they need to go out to potty immediately upon awakening or do they demand breakfast first? Are they anxious at night?

  • Are there any protocols or routines your sitter may need to know about? Is there a favorite treat they get after their last walk? Does your dog enjoy being brushed at night while you watch TV?

  • Is there anything in the home your sitter may need to know about? - Is there a light switch that will cause chaos if turned off? Does the sink handle fall off every time you turn on the cold water if you’re not careful?
