🌴 How to Prep Your Pet for a Stress-Free Staycation
Spring Break is almost here! Whether you’re jetting off for a week of sunshine or planning a relaxing staycation, don’t forget about your four-legged family members. While you’re making your getaway plans, it’s just as important to ensure your pets are safe, comfortable, and cared for at home.
At Pet and Home Care, we specialize in keeping pets happy while their humans are away. Here’s your go-to guide for planning ahead so everyone—pets included—can enjoy a worry-free Spring Break.
🐾 1. Reserve Your Pet Sitting Early
Professional care means your pet gets personalized attention, regular exercise, and familiar routines while you’re gone. Leaving pets with a trusted sitter is far less stressful than boarding or relying on a neighbor.

🏡 2. Prep Your Home and Pet Supplies
A little preparation goes a long way in making your pet’s staycation smooth and stress-free:
Double-check your pet’s supply of food, medications, and treats
Leave written care instructions, emergency contacts, and your veterinarian’s info
Keep your pet’s favorite toys, blankets, and beds accessible for comfort
Check gates, fences, and doors to ensure your home is secure

🕒 3. Stick to Their Routine
Pets thrive on routine—familiar schedules help them feel safe and relaxed. Our Pet Care Pros work to match your pet’s daily rhythm, including:
Mealtime and medication schedules
Regular walks, playtime, or outdoor breaks
Overnight care, if needed, to provide extra comfort
Tip: If your pet is used to lots of activity, consider adding an extra walk or play session during your time away.
🧠 4. Add a Little Enrichment
Extra mental stimulation can help ease separation anxiety and prevent boredom:
Puzzle feeders and treat-dispensing toys
Interactive toys or chews
A favorite playlist or pet-safe TV channel for company
