Traveling should be exciting, not stressful—and that includes making sure your furry friend is well cared for while you’re away. At Not Home Alone, we know how important it is to prepare your pet for a sitter, so they feel safe, loved, and comfortable. Here are our top tips to make the process smooth and stress-free.


1. Keep Their Routine Consistent

Pets thrive on routine. Share your pet’s feeding schedule, walk times, and play habits with us so we can keep things familiar.


2. Stock Up on Supplies

Make sure food, treats, medications, and waste bags are ready and easy to find. This allows us to focus on caring for your pet instead of searching for essentials.


3. Share Emergency Contacts

Provide your vet’s information and a backup contact. Preparation ensures peace of mind in case of the unexpected.


4. Comfort Items Matter

Leave out your pet’s favorite blanket, toy, or bed. Familiar smells and objects help them feel secure while you’re away.


5. Communicate Special Needs

Every pet has quirks. Whether your dog is shy around other dogs or your cat hides during storms, let us know so we can give them the best care possible.

Bonus Tip: Ask for Updates


At Not Home Alone, we’re happy to send daily photos or videos so you can see your pet enjoying their day.


Final Thought: With a little preparation, you can enjoy your trip knowing your pet is safe, happy, and cared for like family.
