Planning your holidays, what are you going to do with our loved pet? Being apart from your favourite pet is so hard. You might even think it is less agonizing to be removed from the children for a fortnight. It’s a surprise that some individuals think it is joyful, delightful when the spouse is away for a fortnight or so on a boys holiday, no issues on what to eat and where to go out to. What pain, however, with deciding what to do with your loved pet whilst you are on vacation .
What are the pluses of pet sitting? There are two parts, ones for you and those for your pet. You know who is the most important, so let’s start with the pet first.
Pets, especially cats, are often anxious by nature, moving them away from their comfort zone, immediately puts them on edge, thats why using cat sitters is so popular. Its not surprising that through evolution these animals have had their area, which they kept to and mark with urine, to make it clear. They will fight for this area if needed. Not surprising they do not like leaving their home. What state did your pet come home in, when he was in boarding? Was he filthy? Was he thinner?
Boarding the pet at home is better, as they live in their loving home, with number one toy and all outlooks, smells and noises they are used to.
Your pet will be looked after and played with. The pet will not be nervous as you introduced the pet sitter to your favourite one.
Before and after the holiday, when stressed out with all the work to be done, all you need is the hassle to take the cat to, or collect from, the boarding place. You know the situation, you get back late, you are exhausted; tons still to do. It would be great to have your pet, but its not possible to collect him until tomorrow. Pets do not like travelling in cars, with all the bizarre noises and smells, often upsets them. It is also statistically dangerous for the pet (you as well!)
Neighbours, friends and family can be a disaster for your pets, either at your home – or theirs Are you dreading going to them to ask for support to do the pet sitting? With professional pet sitting companies such as London dog walking, they will do many activities such as tidying the yard and watering the pots. Potential thieves will notice the activity and reduce the likelihood of burglary.
Do you fret how the pet is managing whilst on holiday. Have the family remembered to come round and feed them, it was bizarre that the rabbit dug itself out of the pen year before last, over one night! Are they giving them too much food? The London pet sitters will even send you photos, or make them accessible on the web, and post a diary of how your pet is managing on. Is he eating well? How are the little ones? Pet sitting is even more positive for the young pets, where movement is an even more stressful event.

For Father – it is often the most economical solution.
Go away and have a lovely holiday.
