Field Scenario

A potential client asks a pet sitter to also administer complex daily insulin injections for a diabetic cat, a responsibility the sitter has never handled before.

What You Actually Do

• Honestly assess whether this falls within personal comfort and skill level before agreeing
• Discuss proper training or a demonstration from the owner or veterinarian if proceeding
• Consider referring this specific need to a more specialized in-home care provider if not comfortable
• Recognize that taking on a task beyond genuine skill risks both the pet’s safety and professional reputation
