Use this guide when you are going away, for example over Christmas, and need someone to look after a dog, cat or small pet. Book early for busy periods and have your pet's vaccination record, vet details and your travel dates ready.
Step by step
Decide which type of care suits your pet
Think about your pet's age, health and temperament: some dogs thrive in kennels or doggy day care, while anxious or elderly pets may do better with a home sitter. Cats are often less stressed staying at home with visits, but a good cattery suits cats who need medication or close supervision. Write down your pet's needs, such as walks, feeding times, medication and any behaviour quirks.
