If you have a petsitter stay at your house do you

[ralphlauren]

go to the grocery store for them?

I am leaving for 4 days and have very little food in my house. I do not rreally want to go shopping so I was thinking of leaving her a gift card to my restaurant? We own a restaurant that will deliver so that way she can order whatever she wants? Thoughts?

Also where does your pet sitter stay at your house when they stay over? I will wash sheets/ blankets/towel for her.

What am I missing?

Our petsitter brings her own food. We always offer her whatever is in the fridge/pantry but she refuses.

I don't shop for her. She is welcome to eat whatever is there, but she never has and just brings her own (that's what I used to do when I dog sat as well).

She sleeps in our bed mainly because that is where our dogs are used to sleeping. I put fresh linens on the bed and fresh towels a new travel soap etc. in the bathroom.

ours is a friend and we always go and buy things he'll like that are 'snacky'--yogurt, frozen pizzas, etc. Tht we'll eat if he doesn't.
Oh, and Mt. Dew. PILES of it :-P

My brother usually stays at the house and watches them. We'll ask him what he wants and buy some, but he also often refuses payment so we pay in food : )

I'd maybe get a few snacks that won't go bad while you're gone and offer them to her, but don't feel obligated to supply anything.

also, they stay in the guest room

SIL usually stays, and she sleeps in the guest room. We buy her some easy stuff to make and leave a grocery store gift card for anything else.
