We all know that if the match between you and your pet sitter is not perfect, then you will be stressed the whole trip. Are the animals okay? Are they happy? That’s where finding the perfect match comes in. One of the biggest recommendations is to have a pet sitter who can replicate your pet’s regular schedule. Michelle lives with them full time while we are gone so that she can monitor their behavior and keep up with their regular feedings, activity schedules, etc. If your cats eat twice a day, we recommend that they have at least two visits a day to keep them on their schedule.

Road Trip Ready: Getting Your Cat Prepared For a Long Drive
