Ensuring safety and peace of mind on holiday: how reliable pet care can help
There’s a lot to plan for when your next holiday is approaching, from the itinerary to arranging pet care. For many pet owners, it’s not just a question of finding someone to lovingly look after their cat or rabbit while they are away. They also want their home to be well looked after and kept safe during this time.
At Paw & Property, we take a holistic approach to pet care. Our daily visits provide care and routine for your pets and help ensure that your home remains lively and well looked after while you’re away.
Avoid a visible absence
A house or apartment that has been empty for a long time will quickly start to look unoccupied from the outside, especially if there are no signs of life for several days. Signs such as permanently closed shutters, a full letterbox and no lights on in the evening suggest that nobody is home.
Many of our customers therefore use our pet care service as part of their precautionary measures when travelling. Our regular visits provide structure to your pet’s daily routine and create small, visible movements in the house that are noticeable from outside.
Added-value pet care
Our visits include more than just feeding and playing. We can also take on small tasks to make your home look lived in:
- opening and closing the shutters
- switching lights on and off
- airing
- emptying the letterbox
- watering plants
- visibly placing everyday objects, such as food bowls or toys.
These routines make the home seem lived in, without any major technical effort. This creates a calm, natural everyday dynamic while you are out.
What else you can do
Even with simple preparations, you can help to ensure that your home looks well looked after and cared for during your trip:
Refrain from making public vacation announcements: Especially on social media, it is advisable not to share travel dates openly.
Use timers: Light sources that can be controlled automatically ensure visible regularity.
Ask neighbors or acquaintances for help: moving the garbage can or occasionally reparking the car, for example, creates a lively impression.
Combined with pet care, this creates a coherent overall picture that signals reliability and presence.
For your pet – and your peace of mind!
The focus is, of course, on your pet, who stays in familiar surroundings and receives individual attention, while following its usual daily routine as closely as possible. Many animals find this type of care particularly pleasant as they don’t have to cope with a change of location or unfamiliar surroundings.
At the same time, you can rest assured that someone is regularly looking after your pet and keeping an eye on your home.
Your Conclusion:
Pet care during the holiday season ensures the safety of your pet and gives you peace of mind. Our visits establish a routine and provide reliability and exercise for your pet, while being unobtrusive yet effective.
This allows you to enjoy your trip to the full, safe in the knowledge that everything at home is well looked after.
