How to Become a Pet Host with Pets Are Inn
At Pets Are Inn, we take great care in selecting loving, responsible host families for the pets entrusted to us. Our process ensures the best experience for both you and the pets you’ll care for, all in the comfort of your own home.
Step 1: Phone Interview
We begin with a friendly phone conversation to get to know you and learn about your interest in hosting pets. This initial interview helps us determine if you’d be a good fit for our program.
Step 2: In-Home Interview
If qualified, we’ll schedule a visit to your home. This step allows us to better understand your environment, lifestyle, and preferences, so we can make the best matches between you and the pets we place.
During the in-home interview, we will:
- Learn about your experience with pet care.
- Inspect your home for cleanliness, safety, and layout (e.g., a multi-level home many not be ideal for senior pets).
- Assess your yard for security and pet safety.
- Consider compatibility with your current pets, if any (for example, we avoid placing high-energy puppies in homes with older, calm pets).
- Identify your preferences, whether you’re most comfortable hosting dogs, cats, or exotic pets. If you’re open to dogs, we’ll also ask about size, age, and breed preferences.
You’ll also receive a copy of our Host Family Guideline Manual, which answers common questions and covers what to expect while hosting.
Step 3: Pet Placement
Once you’re approved, we will match you with pets that best suit your home and preferences. You’ll receive details care instructions, including the pet’s routine, feeding schedule, medication needs, directly from the owner’s intake.
The best part is that Pets Are Inn handles all transportation of the pets to and from your home, so you can simply focus on giving them loving care.
