5 Signs Your Pet Loved Their Sitter

Coming home from a trip always comes with one question: how did it really go? Your pet can't tell you — but their behavior can. Here are five signs the visit went great.

1. They're calm when you walk in. A relaxed pet at pickup or homecoming is the biggest tell. Stress shows up as pacing, excessive vocalizing, or clinginess that lasts for days.

2. Their routine held up. Eating normally, sleeping in their usual spots, no accidents in the house — consistency means their day-to-day stayed comfortable while you were gone.

3. They perk up at the sitter's name. Ears up, tail wag, a glance at the door. Pets remember people who were kind to them.

4. The photo updates showed real engagement. Look back at those daily photos — play, relaxed body language, happy walks. That's what good care looks like in real time.

5. The house tells the story. Fresh water, tidy food area, clean litter box or yard. Small details reflect a sitter who treated your home like their own.

At Cozy Paws, every visit includes photo updates and a daily report — so you never have to guess. Book your free meet and greet today.
