What Is a Meet & Greet?
A meet & greet is a short visit before the booking where the sitter meets the pet and owner, reviews care instructions, and gets familiar with the home and routine. For most bookings, it should take around 15 to 30 minutes.
When It Matters Most
Meet & greets are especially helpful for house sitting, boarding, drop-in visits, dog walking, pets with medical needs, and nervous or reactive pets.
SitSignal Guidance
If anything feels unsafe, unclear, or outside your experience, do not accept the booking. Clear expectations at the meet & greet prevent bad bookings later.
After the meet & greet
Take notes right away, confirm any missing details in-app, and only accept the booking if you feel fully comfortable.
FAQ
For most bookings, 15 to 30 minutes is enough to cover the basics, confirm care instructions, and see how the pet responds in person.
Not always, but it is strongly recommended for boarding, house sitting, drop-ins with new pets, dog walking with new clients, and any booking involving medical or behavioral needs.
Do not accept the booking. If the situation feels unsafe, unclear, or outside your experience level, it is better to decline than to force a bad fit.
