Should I Use Pet Sitting?
Decisions are having to be made for the holiday season, what are you going to do with our favorite pet? Being apart from your favourite pet is so hard. Many even think it is less agonizing to be split from the children for a fortnight. I know that some people think it is joyful, delightful when the spouse is away for ten days or so on business, no questions on what to do and watch on the television. What stress, however, with deciding what to do with your loved pet whilst you are on holiday .
What are the pluses of pet sitting? There are two parts, ones for you and those for your pet. We recognise 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. One isn’t surprisedusing a, through evolution these animals have had their area, which they protected and mark with urine, to make it clear. They will defend this area if needed. Not surprising they do not like leaving their home. How was your pet when he came home when he was in boarding? Was he filthy? Was he thinner?
Boarding the pet at home is better, as they are in their loving house, with favourite toy and all views, smells and noises they are used to.
Your pet will be looked after and played with. The pet will not be on edge 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 tired; you still have a load to sort out. 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 odours, often disturbs them. It is also more 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 hating going to them to ask for help to do the pet sitting? With professional pet sitting companies such as London dog walking, they will do many things such as emptying the mail box and watering the plants. The bad guys will notice the activity and decrease the likelihood of burglary.
What concerns worries you the most about your pet when you are on holiday?. Have the neighbours remembered to pop in and water them, it was strange that the rabbit dug itself out of the cage year before last, all in one night! Are they giving them too much food? The London pet sitters will even email you photos, or make them accessible on the web, and write a diary of how your pet is getting on. Is he eating well? How are the little ones? Pet sitting is even more valuable 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 great holiday.
