Find Dog Sitters And Doggie Daycare Services For Your Next Vacation

Sometimes we have to leave our dog at home when we go away on vacation. Since its difficult to travel with pets and many hotels dont allow them, keeping the dogs and cats at home while we are away is often the best bet. When leaving your pet at home, you will have to ensure that your dog and/or cat is fed, walked and taken good care of until you come back. Here are some options from which to choose the best pet care service when you go on vacation:

Dog Walkers and Dog Sitters

Dog walkers and dog and cat sitters are individuals whom you can pay to come into your home and feed, walk and play with your dog or cat. They will often visit a few times a day to ensure that your pet is taken care of until you come home. The dog walker will come over a few times a day but not stay at your house while the dog sitter or cat sitter will actually stay at your home on a continual basis until you come back. These individuals may also perform other tasks such as bring in your mail and newspapers, fill your bird feeders, take out your trash and more. When choosing a dog walker or dog sitter, just make sure that the individual is insured and bonded for your protection.

Doggie Day Care Centers

If you need your dog to be cared for during the day, such as when you are at work, then the smart choice is a doggie daycare center. The staff members at these centers will take care of your dog during the day and allow your dog to play with other dogs, which offers your dog the opportunity for pet socializing. Also, such a setup will teach your dog how to behave well with other dogs. Just remember, before hiring a doggie daycare provider, always inspect the premises to make sure it meets with your approval.

All of these options allow you to be away from home without worrying about your friendly pet.
