Your Pets can be Home for the Holidays, Even if You're Not!

Tis the season to be busy, but that's no reason to leave your pets home alone. In addition to the obvious advantages of hiring a pet sitter for holiday trips and winter getaways, pet sitters can prevent holiday stress and strain for you and your pet.

You don't have to be out of town or even out of the house for your pet to need extra care or companionship during this active season. Holiday activities such as party-giving, party-going, travel or working long hours may spell loneliness and boredom for your beloved pet.

“Visits from a friendly pet sitter can alleviate this problem, “ states Lee Anne Emig. Emig opened her own pet sitting business, The Pet Nanny, in Belleville, Illinois, after she left her job at the local humane society. “ Pet sitters make certain your dog, cat, ferret, hamster, or other pet is walked, fed, watered and cuddled. It allows the pet to closely follow their normal daily routine.”

In addition to taking care of your pets during the holiday season, pet sitters can offer crime-deterrent services, giving your home a more “lived-in” while you're away. Services include collecting your newspapers and mail, rotating lights, blinds and drapery, or watering indoor plants. Some sitters will even turn your holiday lights off and on.

“Whether you're traveling, attending a holiday party after work or getting some Christmas shopping done, it gives pet owners peace of mind knowing their pet has been cared for in the safety and familiarity of their own home,” shares Emig. “This is important, especially during a stressful time like the holidays.”

Those needing services during this holiday season are encouraged to make reservations early.

“Thanksgiving and Christmas are busy times for boarding facilities and pet sitters alike. Pet owners who know they are leaving town should plan for their pet's care today,” notes Emig.
