Traveling for the Holidays? Helpful Services and Tips for a Calm Dog

With the holiday season approaching, it’s time to start planning flights, renting cars, and most importantly, deciding what to do so that you have a calm dog even while you’re away. Whether you have a new dog or are traveling for the first time, panic can easily start to set in as you think about the best plan.

Take a deep breath and relax, because the answer is simple – hire a pet sitter! By hiring a professional pet sitter you will reduce your pet’s stress and anxiety levels tremendously, as well as your own. After all, your dog is a member of your family and deserves the best care. Your pup will feel more relaxed staying in their familiar home environment and keeping up with their usual schedule.

If you’re located in or around the Charlotte, NC area, Little Friends Pet Sitting has a team of excellent, caring, and insured pet sitters ready to help you! We’re here to offer services and tips to guarantee a happy holiday season for both you and your favorite four-legged cuddle buddy.

Quality Bonding Time

Before you hit the road, spend some extra quality time together to help ensure you have a calm dog. Every minute counts, and they will 100% appreciate it! Whether it’s extra snuggles on the couch, more walks and runs, or play time, this can help both of you mentally before you leave. Our sitters are expert cuddlers, so they’ll get plenty of love and companionship during their visits.

Free In-Home Consultation

Little Friends Pet Sitting offers one free in-home consultation with the pet sitter to help you and your dog feel more comfortable before the big day. They can also answer any questions you have. Your dog will feel as if they’re staying with someone they know and trust, rather than a total stranger.

Exercise, Exercise, Exercise!

Our pet sitters will give your dog nice, long walks midday or any other time you choose. This is all tracked conveniently on a virtual log and GPS report for your viewing. Sitters can also play with your dog to engage their minds and tire them out. Exercise and play time will help make sure you have a relaxed and calm dog while you’re away!

Confident, Cheerful Vibes

Dogs are experts at picking up on human’s emotions (especially THEIR humans!). If you’re feeling sad, anxious, or stressed about leaving your dog, they will likely feel it too. On the flip side, if you’re comfortable and relaxed, your dog will be the same way. Our sitters will be there to swoop in and save the day after you leave with love, cheerful vibes, and lots of wonderful belly scratches.

Flexible Times

Not only are our pet sitters insured, bonded, background check approved and experienced, they’re also super flexible. Our services begin as early as 7 am and go til as late as 10 pm. No matter what your dog’s typical schedule is, we will ensure it stays consistent every day.

Provide Distractions

Buy a few new toys like a KONG, treat puzzle, or others to give your dog on the day you leave. A brand new distraction will help keep their mind happy and busy as you leave. You can even leave a note for the pet sitter to give your dog a new treat or toy each day when they’re visiting.

24/7 Communication

A great benefit of having a pet sitter is that you can easily check up on your pup. Are you curious to know if they’re eating, exercising, sleeping, and happy? Your pet sitter can answer all of these questions and more via text each time they visit. It’ll put a huge smile on your face knowing that you have a happy, well cared for, and calm dog. We also offer a free 365/24/7 hour hotline to all of our clients!

Bring Home a Surprise

While you’re away on your holiday trip, explore a cute dog boutique in the area and purchase your dog a new treat! Bringing them home something special will give you something to look forward to, and ensure extra tail wagging and wet kisses as you return.
