What To Do With Your Pets While You Are On Vacation

I absolutely love going on vacation. It is was one of my favorite things to do with my family every year. In fact, I would do it more if I could afford it. There is only one problem with leaving town for several days. That is what to do with our pets. As a kid, I felt bad taking off without them. Honestly, I still do.

Growing up, we had dogs. They need a little bit more supervision. Luckily, we had a neighborhood that would come by and take care of them. Now, my family has a cat. They are easier to leave. A friend will stop by every couple of days to check on her.

There is the option to bring your pet along but that also takes a lot of work. First of all, you have to find places that allow pets. Then you have to do the extra work while on vacation, which is not ideal. It is possible at some special businesses.
