Pet Sitting and Care for Thanksgiving & the Holidays | Pet Sitters Plus

Tis the season for Thanksgiving travels and holiday shopping. Fall is coming to a close. Winter is upon us. How will you make sure your pets are happy and taken care of while you're away for Thanksgiving or on long holiday shopping excursions? If you're at home entertaining guests for the Holidays, you are probably cooking and serving lots of food, and your pets start begging. Do you know which "human foods" are not healthy for them? As the days get darker and colder, how will you make sure that they will be healthy and happy?

Pet Sitters Plus has a few handy tips to consider for your animal companions while away for long periods of time, as well as while at home entertaining guests with lots of food:

  • Know how to choose the right pet sitter for you while traveling or on long shopping excursions. Read the blog Choosing a Pet Sitter for handy tips and guidance.
  • Human foods to avoid feeding your pets: Xylitol - If you're using xylitol as a sweetener, remember never to let your dog have a taste! Xylitol is poisonous for your dogs. Dark chocolate - Dogs are usually sensitive to chocolate. Click this link to read about the 12 Most Dangerous 'People Foods' for Cats and Dogs to avoid feeding your pets. Also, remember that most of our furry companions don't know when to stop begging. Don't over indulge them. Poinsettias - not edible for humans either! Don't let the dog eat the poinsettias!
  • Keeping your pets safe and healthy: Last month's blog Pet Tips: Protecting Your Pets in the Winter are still valuable to ensure your pets' health and safety throughout the 3-4 months.

    Debra,
    Pet Sitters Plus

    I live in Gardnerville, NV and have owned my own pet sitting service since 1994. When I first entered this field there was not really anyone to turn to for help. Help on how to grow the business, no specialized forms to make life easy and no one to share the dos and the don'ts. No one to call. So I had to learn and create all my own stuff from scratch. I learned a lot of stuff the hard way. Well after 18 years, I have grown Pet Sitters Plus to well over 600 clients. I have created my own forms and have trained others in how to start, run and be a successful pet sitting service.
