Going on vacation without your fur kids can be difficult and worrying about them back at home can make your vacation less enjoyable. If you are planning a beach-side getaway or a mountain hideaway, these 4 tips can help ensure that your cat is well cared for – making getting away easier for both of you…
Schedule a Cat Transport
Whether you need help getting your cat to his boarding space or getting him out to the vet while you are away, a pet taxi can make sure that they get there safely, calmly and happily. Your pet will not just be dropped off and left there all alone. Your cat will be treated like one of the family. For example, if they are going to the vet, the pet pro will accompany them inside too. This can help you rest easier and truly enjoy your time away without worrying over your cat back at home.
Have a Friend Come By Once Daily
If you trust your kitty at home alone, you can have a friend drop over once a day to change litter and ensure that your pet has plenty of food and water. While they are here, they can also offer them some one on one time and attention so that they do not feel so alone in that great-big house.
Hire a Pet Sitter
A pet sitter can stay home with your pet while you are away. If you would rather, a pet sitter can also take your pet to their place. Having someone with your pet 24/7 is especially important when your cat tends to get a little destructive when he is stressed out. You would not want to come home to a ripped up sofa and claw-scratched table. A pet sitter can make sure that everything goes over without a hitch.
Bring Your Cat Along
While not all hotels allow pets to come along, some do. You will have to swing a larger deposit to bring your cat along but if you can afford it and you will not be able to rest without them there… it is a good idea to let them tag along. This can help you to enjoy yourself more without worrying over your kitty back at home.
Whether you are looking forward to lounging on the beach for a whole week or just taking a mini-vacation to your favorite stretch of the forest, when you take the time to plan ahead – you can truly enjoy your vacation and your cat can enjoy his too… even if his just happens to be a stay-cation.
