Five Reasons to Book a Homesitter this Christmas

As the festive season approaches, many people are planning holidays or trips to visit family. For pet owners, ensuring their pets are well cared for while they’re away a top priority. Leading home and pet-sitting company, Homesitters Ltd, advises booking a homesitter early, as Christmas is their busiest time of year.

TravelSupermarket highlights that around five million Britons head abroad at Christmas to escape cold weather and the pressures of home celebrations. Homesitters Ltd offers peace of mind for those concerned about leaving their pets and homes unattended during the holiday rush.

 

Ben Irvine, Director of Operations at Homesitters Ltd, explains, “As the countdown to the festive season begins, it’s essential for pet owners to think about who will care for their animals. Many pets, especially dogs and cats, struggle with the stress of being placed in kennels or catteries, and it can be just as unsettling for them to stay with friends or family, especially during the busy holiday season.”

Here are five compelling reasons to book a Homesitter this Christmas:

 

  1. Pet Comfort and Well-being
    Pets are most comfortable in their own environment. By booking a homesitter, pets can remain in familiar surroundings, following their usual routines, which reduces stress and anxiety compared to being placed in kennels or unfamiliar homes with people they don’t know.

 

  1. Home Security
    Empty homes during the festive season can be prime targets for burglars. Having a homesitter ensures your property remains occupied, reducing the risk of break-ins and providing peace of mind while you’re away.

 

  1. Avoid Burdening Friends and Family
    Christmas is a busy time for everyone. Asking friends or family to look after your pets can add to their holiday stress. A professional homesitter allows you and your loved ones to enjoy the season fully, without the extra responsibility of pet care.

 

  1. Experienced, Professional Care
    Homesitters are trained to handle various pets and household needs. They are equipped to provide proper attention, exercise, and any necessary medical care for pets, ensuring they are in good hands while you travel.

 

  1. Flexibility and Availability
    Homesitters Ltd offers flexible services throughout the holiday season. However, with Christmas being the busiest time of year, it’s essential to book early to secure a professional homesitter who meets your needs.

London-based Karen Hope and her family have used Homesitters for years, ever since they got a Vietnamese pot-bellied pig named Truffle. Needing someone to care for him when they went away, Karen turned to Homesitters Ltd due to their professionalism and reliability.

Karen said, “The homesitters we have met have all been wonderful. They are incredibly reliable and conscientious. We like to use the same ones if we can, as they are familiar with our home and the animals’ routines.”

 

Homesitters has also cared for their Bedlington Terrier, corn snake, gecko, and tortoise, ensuring that the whole family of pets is well looked after. Karen adds, “As far as we’re concerned, Homesitters is worth every penny, and I regularly recommend them to others.”
