Holiday Tips for Happy Pets (and a Safe Home)

As you pack for that long-awaited holiday, your pets are probably watching with suspicion: “Excuse me… who’s feeding me?” Remember to arrange for proper pet care while you’re away, so you can enjoy your trip worry-free!

A little planning can keep tails wagging (and paws off the furniture).

  • Stick to the schedule – pets love routine almost as much as treats.
  • Leave your scent – that old gym T-shirt? Turns out it’s priceless emotional support.
  • Practice short absences – so they don’t stage a sit-in by the suitcase.
  • Secure the fort – check gates, doors, and any “great escape” opportunities.
  • Request updates – photos of your pet looking smug at home will melt your heart.
  • Keep them home – less stress, fewer strange smells, more naps.

Bonus tip: a reliable home pet care service can double as a home guardian — watering plants, collecting mail, and keeping your place looking lively while you’re off making memories.
