Many of you will be traveling for extended periods in the next few weeks with the holiday season fast approaching.

If you choose not to take your pets with you, the two logical choices for their care are the use of your veterinarian for boarding or a pet sitter.

You probably already have a set routine with your vet. He or she has all of your contact information and emergency numbers as well as a solid full background and history of your pet’s needs and desires.

However, the pet sitter may not readily have this information.

Generally, they will look to you for the specific instructions as for the care and well-being of our pet.

Be sure to provide at a minimum, the following information.

Your Name;

Your email address;

Your cell phone numbers;

Your travel plans and dates;

The name of the hotel or location you are visiting along with all local email, cell phone and facsimile information;

The name and address of your veterinarian;

The business and cell phone of your veterinarian;

Driving instructions to you veterinarian;

The name and number of a local personal contact for emergency purposes, and

An updated power of attorney for that local contact.

The list of necessary information could well include additional items, but at minimum, the above should be left with the sitter.
