AWAY FROM HOME FOR THE HOLIDAYS?

The holidays are right around the corner and for those of you who have decided that it's safe enough to visit out-of-town family or friends for Thanksgiving or Christmas, I'm guessing that the excitement level is high after a 2-year dry spell.

The big question is, what arrangements will you make for your dog, cat, rabbit, parrot, horse. pig, etc. during your time away.

While bringing your pet with you may be possible, and boarding at a kennel can be a good choice for the right animal, it's been my experience that most creatures really prefer the familiar surroundings of their own home while their owners are traveling.

And that's where the services of a trustworthy, experienced, professional pet sitter like myself are invaluable. I will visit your animal as often as you like, spend a minimum of 30 to 40 minutes feeding, cleaning, medicating, if necessary; just spending quality time with your pal, pack, or herd.
