It’s that time of the year when many of us want to have a lovely and …maybe relaxing time with family over Christmas, while others just want to get away! Are your pets able to join you in what you decide? Our pets offer us companionship, sharing a unique connection that enriches our lives, fosters mutual love, and deepens our bond through shared experiences and energies. Because of this, creating a stress-free environment for our pets at home is so important. Having your pets with you whenever possible can greatly reduce their anxiety, and yours, rather than using kennels or catteries — where unfamiliar sounds, smells and surroundings can cause stress. Cats, especially, tend to dislike changes to their surroundings and can become anxious when taken out of their home. Small mammals like rabbits and guinea pigs also prefer the security of their home. Fish, obviously, should not be moved unless absolutely necessary. Birds can also experience stress when their environment changes drastically. Yep, you really can’t take your loved ones everywhere, and you definitely want to avoid taking them somewhere where celebrations can get out of hand, but on the other hand, you don’t want to isolate them for long periods of time. There is a lot of responsibility that comes with having a pet. Where can you find the balance? Let’s focus on travelling - what do you do with your pets? These days there are many pet-friendly hotels and lodges that welcome pets. Ideal for dog parents. However, should that option fail, or it’s too challenging or impossible to travel with your pets, finding a trustworthy friend to come and stay with them can sometimes be a workable alternative. Everyone is doing something over Christmas, or are they…? Here’s another option if you are wanting to stay overnight elsewhere and you can’t take your little ones… there are 5-star house and pet sitters who are available to stay over. And, they don’t expect payment and will even water your plants and collect your mail if you are away for a long period of time. I know this as I used to be an official pet sitter. You’ll be able to see, with full transparency, all their past housesits and reviews regarding how well they performed their duties. Nothing is hidden so it’s a good place to make an informed decision and you won’t owe them any favours afterwards. It sounds too good to be true doesn’t it! From this site you can actually have a reliable person to feed and walk your dogs, send daily pics and take care of daily chores like waste bin management and plant watering provides peace of mind.
Their online reviews and ratings from other pet owners can help you choose the right house and pet sitter, and you can always have a conversation beforehand, no strings attached, to ensure you're each a good fit for the other. I used to visit the parents and meet the pets before I committed to anything. I was often hired to administer insulin injections to diabetic cats, which wasn’t easy with unfamiliar pets, but experienced sitters know how to handle these situations, allowing you to relax and enjoy your holiday. Remember, our pets are sentient beings, perceiving energies around them. Ensuring they are in a loving, familiar environment helps keep them happy and relaxed, which is great for their health and great for you.
