    |
|
I have recently invested in a dog walker and today was their 1st "official" day. I've got so much on between now and Christmas and they just need someone 3 days but I feel really horrible about it 
I've met the couple and they both really are lovely but I cant help feeling a little bit helpless at leaving them with somebody else !! Did anybody else who uses a sitter/walker feel like this at first ?

In my experience, dog walkers/sitters do it because they love doing the job. So Im sure your pups are in safe hands.
Did you get them on a recommend?
Im sure you do feel anxious - why dont you send them a text to see how it all went?
Im sure everything is fine though!

All my new customers felt like that, so I just used to send a reassuring text after their woofs first walk 
It's perfectly natural to feel anxious, I'm just as bad if I have to leave Maj

Yes, I felt like that too at first, but I'm a year down the line now and I can honestly save I've never looked back. It's worked out really well for both me and the dogs.
