Holiday Help 4 Petz Blog

Now that the good weather is upon us, we are starting to think about our summer holidays, but it’s important to also think of your pets whilst you are away and how they are going to be looked after.

Taking on a petsitter is ideal if you have pets. Not only do you not have the burden of taking them to the kennels or cattery, or farming out the small animals to friends and neighbours, you have peace of mind that someone is also visiting or staying at your home to keep an eye on things too.

Whether it be a housesitter or a daily visiting service, the benefits are tremendous. Most petsitters try to be as accommodating as possible, so if your cat has his food arranged in a ‘curry style’ or you need to brush a Persian daily, petsitters will undertake this, giving your much loved pets some TLC whilst you are away enjoying yourself.

We at Holiday Help 4 Petz (www.holidayhelp4petz.co.uk) have been looking after peoples’ precious pets for over nine years and in that time have built up a steady core customer base who use us year after year. Once owners know how stress free using petsitters are, many people are ‘hooked’, and budget the costs into their holidays – much the same as booking taxis or hotel transfers.

We try to make it as easy as possible by collecting the keys beforehand at the owners’ home, deposits can be paid via BACs and we will then bring the keys back once an owner has returned.

Again, if you have rabbits and guinea pigs to be boarded, we provide the hutch, run and all the food so there only the pet to bring.

We want our customers to go on holiday with peace of mind and no worries and not feeling beholden to friends and neighbours who they’ve asked too many times in the past.

So, if you haven’t used a petsitter before, give it a try – you won’t be disappointed.

What a great start to 2011!

Normally, at this time of the year, petsitting is relatively quiet for us apart from the odd skiers going on holiday and needing help with their pets.

Well, this year, we have just taken on a fantastic Boxer, Blaker, who is creching with us for two days a week while his owner works locally. We have seen several new customers who need petsitting both in the near future and long term too, including a beautiful Birman and several Maine Coons. Plus several existing customers, having already booked their holidays for 2011, have booked in their pets to be looked after as well. Great forward planning!

Customer service and our attention to detail whilst looking after the pets is our main objective. However, not only do those clients whose pets we look after in their own home have peace of mind their pets are being cared for by professionals, they also have the reassurance that their home is being kept an eye on too. If an emergency arose, say a leak or the electricity not working, we would make the necessary arrangements to sort it all out while the owner was away.

Pet Sitting in Horsham at Christmas

www.holidayhelp4petz.co.uk

Unbelievably, it’s starting to get to the time when we think about Christmas.  Whose house will it be at this year?  Will we get invited to the mother-in-laws or Auntie Joan? But sometimes there is a question mark about your pets – who will look after them while you are away.

That is where a professional petsitter can come into its own.  We at Holiday Help 4 Petz, one of the longest petsitting businesses in Horsham, have covered nearly every Christmas and New Year since we started looking after pets in 2002.

Our customers go away with peace of mind that their precious pets and home will be cared for while they enjoy their Christmas break, whether it be with relatives or a holiday away from home.

Having been been petsitting in Horsham now for over 8 years, in that time have looked after hundreds of pets and homes, including cats, guinea pigs and rabbits even chinchillas, bearded dragons and fruit beetles!  The advantage of using a professional petsitter, especially over the Christmas period, is that you don’t feel beholden to anyone.  Imagine asking a neighbour to come in to look after your cats or rabbits over Christmas – you’d feel guilty wouldn’t you?  But by using a professional service, takes away that feeling of obligation and you can be rest assured that should an emergency arise, it will be dealt with in a calm and professional manner.

So the next time you are away, whether it be for Christmas or any other time of year, think of using a professional petsitter – you won’t regret it!
