In all the excitement of going on holiday it can be easy to forget about arranging holiday care for your pets. You may find yourself going on a last minute or surprise break so, very much like finding a good vet, make sure you have holiday cover sorted well in advance. 

It is important that you make sure that a professional pet-sitter  must have the knowledge and inclination to visit and check thoroughly at least twice a day. That is a minimum: if they can come more frequently then all the better.
