Introduction

The holidays are a wonderful time to get together with family and friends, but it also means that you might be spending some time away from your home. If this is the case and you have a pet, then you might want to consider getting them into an animal boarding facility or hiring someone who can watch over them at your house while you’re gone. This blog will talk about how to prepare your pet mentally for the trip as well as what type of care they need while they are being boarded or staying at home alone temporarily.

How to Prepare Your Pet Emotionally for Your Trip

• Prepare your pet emotionally.
• Make sure they have enough food and water.
• Make sure they have a safe place to stay.
• Don’t leave them alone for long periods of time, even if you’re gone just a few days or weeks.

What Type of Care Will Your Pet Need?

If you have a dog, it’s important to remember that dogs can get very lonely and stressed when their owners are away. In order to give your dog the best care possible while you’re gone, there are several things that need to be done.

• Feeding: You will want to make sure your pet has food available at all times while you are away. If they normally eat once per day, try giving them two meals instead. This should help keep them from getting hungry and eating things they shouldn’t (like trash). It will also help prevent vomiting if your pet eats too much at once or eats something he/she shouldn’t have eaten in the first place!
• Walking: Dogs need exercise every day; this is especially important when they’re left alone for long periods of time like during holidays like Christmas and Hanukkah where families might travel far distances away from home so they won’t be able to walk their dogs as often as usual! Make sure there’s no snow on the ground before going outside so the fur doesn’t get wet (which can cause skin infections), then take him out for a good jog around your neighborhood followed by some playtime inside until bedtime arrives again tomorrow morning 🙂 I hope these tips will help make things easier on both sides–you’ll feel better knowing everything’s taken care of while also feeling guilty if anything goes wrong during those few days upon return from vacation…so don’t worry too much!!

How to Prep for a Boarding Visit with Your Pet

When it comes to boarding your pet with a sitter, you want the best care possible. You should ask the following questions:

• Does the sitter have insurance?
• Are they bonded?
• Do they have liability insurance?
• Is this person a business owner, or are they just trying to make some money in their spare time on the weekends? Make sure that your friend or neighbor is actually making a living at this job! I know someone who had their dog die because of an accident at home with a “friend”. The friend didn’t even have any experience taking care of dogs, and was just doing it as a favor for free! So please don’t think only about cost when searching for quality care for your pets!

How to Pick the Right Cat or Dog Sitter

Choosing the right pet sitter can be one of the most important decisions you make when traveling. If you’re in charge of taking care of your own cat or dog at home, then hiring someone else to take care of them while you’re away will be a big responsibility. Here are some things to keep in mind when finding a trustworthy cat sitter:

• Ask for references from other clients who have used their services. You want to know that this person is experienced and reliable with animals before entrusting them with your beloved kitty or pup.
• Check out their website for more information about their experience with pets in general, as well as specific breeds (if applicable). These details will help determine whether or not they’d be able to handle whatever situation might arise over Thanksgiving break!

How to Prepare Your Home for When You’re Away

When you’re going away for the holidays, it can be difficult to think about leaving your pets at home. You may feel a little guilty about leaving them behind, but there are ways to make sure that their stay is as comfortable and stress-free as possible.

• Leave a note for the pet sitter.
• Include emergency numbers and contact information in your note, including who to contact if there is an emergency or if they need help with any of the tasks that you outlined in point #2 above (e.g., feeding, walking).
• Make sure that your pet care instructions are clear and easy for someone unfamiliar with your pets’ personalities and needs to understand (e.g., don’t use shorthand or abbreviations when describing feeding schedules). This will help ensure that everything runs smoothly while you’re gone!

Taking care of a pet while you are out of town is not easy but you can do it.

Taking care of your pet while you are away on holiday is not easy. But, if you put some thought into it ahead of time and have a plan in place before you leave, things will go smoothly.

Before leaving, make sure that:

• You have everything that your pet needs for physical care (food, water dish, treats) and mental stimulation (toys). Get creative!
• You have contact information for friends or family members who can check on your pet if needed. This could be someone at work who might stop by during lunch break or the person whose house you’re staying at next door to yours when they’re home alone for the holidays too! Maybe even both people will pitch in to take turns checking in on each other’s pets. It’s a win-win situation for everyone involved!

It also helps if you can find someone else who is willing to look after your dog or cat while they’re gone so that he/she doesn’t get lonely during this busy time of year. This way we’ll all feel less guilty about being away from our furry friends because we know that somebody else loves them just as much as we do – maybe even more!

Conclusion

I hope that the tips and suggestions I have provided here are helpful to you in your search for someone to care for your pet while you are away. Remember that it’s important to pick a sitter who offers services that suit your needs, so don’t be afraid to ask questions until you feel comfortable with their answers!
