The ‘Meet & Greet’

Your precious pup loves to play and be sweet around you but keep in mind that he may not be so quick to warm to a minder whom he has never met before. Your dog may be a little shy or nervous especially with a minder that who is not particularly familiar with your breed of dog.

It’s always important to schedule a meet & greet with your chosen pet minder so your dog can become familiar with the new environment, get to know the minder and just as importantly so that you, the dog owner, can be 100% comfortable with where your dog will be staying. This time will also allow your dog to become familiar with the minder’s own dog if they have one.

You can also have a chat with the dog minder and get to know their level of experience and you can ask all the necessary questions before committing to the stay.
Now, are you ready to go meet and greet? Find a great dog minder in your area and don’t forget to send a meet and greet request!

My name is Felicity Thompson and I grew up on a farm in Swan Hill. As a child, I loved animals and spent most of my free time caring for them. From horses to cats, dogs to sheep, they were all part of my life. My horse was named Sunshine and she was so gentle and kind – even as a young girl she could carry me around with ease! My dog was Max, a loyal and faithful companion who always had my back. I now write articles for pet blogs and websites. I'm passionate about helping people care for their animals in the best way possible – from providing proper nutrition to offering emotional support.
