1. Find someone you trust to come to your home at a specific time to feed and take care of the dog.

If you need to take care of your dog during a certain period of time and are unable to do so yourself, having a trusted person come to your home to take care of your dog is a good option. Dogs generally feel more comfortable and secure in their own territory, so this arrangement can reduce their stress and insecurity.

2. Ask the nanny for an interview first

When you find a potential nanny, it is recommended to conduct an interview first. This familiarizes the dog with the sitter's sounds, smells, and appearance, and ensures the dog feels comfortable and secure with the sitter. If the dog thinks the nanny is strange, they may become resistant to the nanny, leading to some maladaptive behaviors.

During the interview process, you can let the nanny interact with the dog and observe the dog's reaction to the nanny. If the dog feels at ease with the nanny, you can let the nanny perform care tasks such as cleaning the cat. At the same time, the nanny can also provide relevant information about the dog, such as preferences, habits and special needs, to ensure that the nanny can provide appropriate care.

Please note that each dog's personality and adaptability are different, and some dogs may take longer to adjust to a new caregiver. Therefore, it's important to experiment and make incremental adjustments before finding the right nanny. Communicate regularly with the nanny to find out how the cat is doing while in the nanny's care and address any questions or concerns promptly.
