Who takes care of your pets when you take off on vacation? This week on Best Bets for Pets, Michelle Fern welcomes Emily Grossman, Chief Marketing Officer of TrustedHousesitters, to explore an alternative to traditional boarding and pet sitting that lets pets stay right where they’re happiest—at home. Emily explains how TrustedHousesitters connects pet parents with verified, animal-loving sitters, how the membership-based service works, and the safeguards designed to help owners feel confident about who they're welcoming into their homes. They also discuss what to look for when choosing a sitter, the importance of reviews and communication, and how regular photos and updates can provide extra peace of mind while you're away. Whether you share your home with cats, dogs or other beloved companions, discover how in-home pet sitting can make travel less stressful for both you and your pets.
