People love to travel but people also love their pets. So, who will take care of pets while their humans are travelling? Similarly, now that more people are headed back to the office instead of working remotely, who will check on pets while their humans are gone for several hours? And, what about the anxiety that some pets might be feeling as their best-human-friends are no longer there with them all day, practically every day? What if Fido or Fluffy are taking medication? Finally, what about the puppy or kitten that was adopted (hopefully rescued) sometime during the last several months and needs to be checked on during the day?
People don’t want just anyone in their home but do want to be sure that not only are their pets taken care of, but that their home is secure and safe. Oh, and it wouldn’t hurt for any packages to not be left sitting on the front porch for pirates to permanently borrow and it probably wouldn’t hurt to be sure the mail is brought in each day so it won’t stay in the mailbox too long, especially if an important piece of mail is expected!
While it may be convenient and cheaper to ask a neighbor, friend, or family member to watch pets, it may not always be the best choice. What if there is (heaven forbid) an emergency; is this person capable of performing first aid/CPR on the pet or knowing what to do in case of a tornado or fire, for example? What if the pet escapes or if he/she cannot be found? Will this person provide updates and send pictures of pets during each of their visits? What if this person has an emergency or a forgotten appointment and cancels at the last minute or, worse, leaves pet(s) unattended and forgets to lock the door on their way out?
