You should look into a staycation for your beloved cat! You want your pet to be safe and happy while you are away. For most animals, this means staying in familiar and comfortable surroundings. The best way to accomplish that is to find a house sitter.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.thetravellinghousesitters.com\">An experienced and professional house sitter<\/a> who loves animals can stay at your home while you are away\nand most often it&#8217;s free! It could be just for a weekend or even a few months.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>House sitting is a perfect alternative to asking\nfamily and friends or using boarding kennels. Many homeowners find that both\ntheir animals and their families are less stressed and happier when they use\nthis type of service, read further to find out why!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-vivid-cyan-blue-color has-text-color\"><strong>Reduce The Hassle<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Not only are you organizing yourself, but you\nmight also need to think about getting kids and a partner ready for a holiday.\nNot only is transporting your cat from place to place hard work, but you also\nneed to pack all their things. Among them, medicine, food, treats, bedding,\nlitter box, and toys! Not only that, but most cats don\u2019t enjoy riding in a\ncar.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Most pet hotels also\nrequire you to get documents from your vet, sign disclaimer forms and sign\nauthorizations. Before you can do any of that, you have to research and pick a\nreliable and safe kennel. With a house sitter everything (except your family)\nstays put. The sitter comes to you and your to-do list becomes a little bit\nshorter!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-vivid-cyan-blue-color has-text-color\"><strong>Less Worry&nbsp;<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When you are away from home, no matter how fun\nyour trip is, you may begin to think about your pet. Is my cat safe and happy?\nOr, scared and sad? When your kitty is at home, you at least can be\ncomfortable knowing they are in familiar and safe surroundings. They are able\nto access their favorite spots in the house, their own litter box and stay in\ntheir happy little routine.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>At kennels, animals\nare usually outside of their comfort zone and for many, this can affect their\neating habits which in turn can affect their usage of the litter box. These\nchanges in behavior may also be due to change in location, absence of familiar\npeople and surroundings, and the addition of unknown animals around them.&nbsp;They\nalso run the risk of being exposed to diseases and pests.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>By allowing them to stay home, your furiends can\nget all the care and attention from a house sitter without any exposure to\nunwanted things. They will enjoy one-on-one attention which would be completely\ndifferent from a kennel where one person is responsible for dozens of\nanimals.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The other bonus is that your home is safely cared\nfor while you&#8217;re away. This means your mail won&#8217;t need to be stopped, and your\ngarbage will be taken out!&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-vivid-cyan-blue-color has-text-color\"><strong>No More\nAdjustments<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>After a nice relaxing trip, the last thing you\nwant to do is return home to a crazed pet. They may be struggling to readjust\nto your absence, your return and another change in their environment. For some,\nthat means a cat who won\u2019t let you out of their sight but also won\u2019t listen to\nyou or look at you. Feline reunion anxiety can be tough.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Cats are sensitive to change and some will react\nnegatively to your absence, especially if boarded or cared for outside of the\nhome. You may return to a pet who has coped so poorly, they are not eating\nmuch, shaking with nervousness, and\/or becoming fearful and hiding (even after\nyour return).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Credit: Photo by Brittnay Sharman Headed away and your cat can&#8217;t come with you?
