Pet Care Needed - Full-time / Part-time

I have a 12-year-old sheltie. I have already made plans, to go on a ski trip starting on March 16th 2026 early morning, until March 23rd 2026 late in the day. I need to interview my pet sitter choices , that live near me now, sometime soon, early October 2025, to make sure they are qualified to pet sit my sheltie and properly learn what needs to be done while I go away.
