Going away and not sure what to do with your precious kitty cats?
Here are a few pointers to help you make up your mind as to weather your should get a sitter in or board your fur baby.
Why Pet Sitting is Better for Cats:
Cats aren’t fans of change — they love their routines, favourite nap spots, and the comfort of home. That’s why pet sitting usually beats boarding every time. Here’s why:
Home is their territory — no scary new smells or cages. Cats don't do well moving from place to place and are most comfortable at home.
Stress-free routine — meals, litter, and cuddles right on schedule.
One-on-one attention — no competing with other pets.
Less risk of illness — no exposure to cat flu or parasites.
Bonus: your home looks lived-in while you’re away!
Bottom line: Cats are happiest in their own kingdom. A sitter keeps them safe, stress-free, and loved while you’re away.
