春节宠托需求暴增，年轻人兼职接单忙
The Spring Festival is now less than a month away. In Hangzhou, many cat owners are looking for short-term pet sitters (宠物保姆). Xiaomi, who works in Hangzhou, has already booked one early. She said last year she couldn’t find a sitter near the festival because all of them were booked.
More and more young people are taking pet-sitting as a side job (兼职). Some have already got orders for the Spring Festival. They usually have experience in keeping cats. Their services include feeding pets, changing water and cleaning the pet’s house. They also play with pets and send videos to the owners. The price is usually from 30 yuan to 100 yuan per visit. It often goes up during holidays.
But pet-sitting is not always an easy job. Sometimes cats may act aggressively. They can hurt the sitters. So it’s very important to communicate well with the owner.
For cat owners, here are some tips for finding a good pet-sitter:
(1) Choose someone who has experience.
(2) Talk with them first to see if they are professional (专业的).
(3) Don’t choose one with a very low price.
(4) Put a camera at home to watch your pet.
(5) Keep an emergency phone number (紧急联系电话).
