If you can't take the heat, think how your pet feels! As we all know, it can get rather hot here in Frisco, Texas. Summer is also when most of us take our family vacations. When enjoying the heat with your loved ones, you really need to plan ahead in regards to your pet care. In the summer, pet sitters, boarding facilities and kennels all become slammed with business. Keep these things in mind when preparing for that family trip:
Call your pet sitter well in advance. I know most good pet sitters are booked solid weeks in advance.
Make sure your pet sitter does a free consultation to lean about your pet's needs and trip details.
Boarding facilities charge more for your dogs and cats during the summer and/or holidays.
Make sure you inform your pet sitter of any special needs your pet may have.
If you also include a daily walk with your dog sitting, make sure you discuss how your dog will react to the heat.
Leave out plenty of water for your dogs and cats if they have access to the outdoors.
Ensure your pet sitter has all of your pet's emergency contact information like vet info and emergency contact phone number.
Have a plan in place for bad weather with your pet sitter. It is always best to be prepared.
Make sure there are options for your dogs if you get delayed while returning home. Most kennels and boarding facilities close when it is off hours.
There is nothing worse than planning a trip with your family then realizing you need to find a solution you are comfortable with in regards to your pet care. This is why using a professional pet sitter in Frisco, Plano and Allen, Texas offers dog and cat owners flexibility they need.
