How do I know if a dog sitter in Norfolk is trustworthy?

You are never obligated to book - messaging a sitter is always free.

No separate purchase is required, and there is no opt-in process. The plan is included in every booking by default.
Can I meet a dog sitter in Norfolk before committing to a booking?
Yes. Every Petme booking starts with a free meet-and-greet. You and your dog get to meet the sitter in person before any booking is confirmed.
