Finding a reliable and trusted pet sitting service will not be hard since there are so many people that care and love animals. It may be a dog lover or a student looking for a part-time job to supplement their income doing something they love and enjoy. Some people cannot have their own pets and look for people needing a pet sitter so they can be around animals such as dogs. 
Before selecting the right person for the job, you are going to want to ask a few questions that will help you decide who will be the best person for the job. You want someone that will care for your dog as their own and keep them safe and preferably someone with experience and references.
Important Questions to Ask
The first thing to find out is if they are insured or bonded. This does not help answer questions about the type of care your dog will get, but it does protect you and your belongings. Many people just do this type of work for enjoyment and may not be bonded or insured. This would be something to think about before hiring them.
You need to find out how long they have doing this type of care and what they offer as far as home security and dog care. If it is a service providing the service, you need to have references as well. Not all services have a reputable business. You might even find that some dog trainers and vets will answer your ad for a pet sitter for some extra enjoyment with dogs. If you find that someone like this answers your ad, you already have some advantages, but you still need assurances.
References are a matter of practice. If a person or a service has experience, they should have references that can easily be checked. This is common practice with any type of service you might require besides a pet sitter. painters, construction workers and other service providers all have a reference or two to give to you to verify their work and ethics.
You also want to check the laws of your city or state to see if they need a license to conduct this type of service. There also might be laws pertaining to animal care in general that need to be followed, you should find out if they are aware of the laws and how they abide by them before finishing the interview.
