Trust is essential in every part of a pet sitting business. It begins before a client ever reaches out and is built through clear communication, consistency, and transparency. Clients look for reassurance at every step, and trust can grow when expectations are met and mistakes are owned. Building trust with pets requires patience, routine, and positive reinforcement to create a sense of safety. Internally, trust within a team—and with yourself as a business owner—comes from accountability, honest reflection, and clear follow-through.

Main takeaway: “Trust is really a living thing in your business. It grows or it shrinks with every action you take.”
In pet care, trust isn’t built in one big moment—it’s built in the tiny, repeated ones: showing up on time, communicating clearly, owning your mistakes, and staying consistent. Whether it’s with your clients, their pets, your team, or even yourself, every choice matters. If trust is low, take small actions that rebuild it. Every visit, every message, every decision is a chance to grow something strong and lasting.
