Another option to consider is in home pet sitting. In home pet sitting has a host of benefits, not only for you but also your pet.
So, what are they and why could it be a much better option for you?

The benefits to your pet

You may not realise it but your pet is a creature of habit. Dogs and especially puppies in particular, are more than happy to carry out the same tasks each and every day.
If you send them to a kennel whilst you are away, then you will be changing their much loved routine. In comparison, having an in house pet sitter means that they can, as much as possible, carry out the same routine.

One of the most harmful side effects to your pet from staying in a kennel is stress. Stress can not only make them sick, but can also mean that they do not eat or drink properly. By staying at home they will be happier, more relaxed, and much more likely to eat as normal.
Best of all, your pet will receive a one on one, personalised service. Not much different, then they receive from you, their owner. They will have love, care and plenty of playtime. Meaning that they will enjoy your holiday as much as you do.

The benefits to you


It isn’t only your pet who can benefit from an in home pet sitting service. You can too.
