What's Included in Professional Pet Sitting? Your Holiday Care Questions Answered

Planning a holiday should be exciting - not stressful. But for many pet owners, one of the biggest decisions is deciding who will care for their pets while they're away.

If you're searching for pet sitting in Kellyville, comparing pet boarding facilities, or wondering whether an in-home pet sitter is the right choice, you're not alone.

At Lulu & Co Pet Care, we're asked the same questions every week, so we've put together this guide to explain exactly what's included in our holiday care visits and help you decide what option is best for your pet.

What is Pet Sitting?

Professional pet sitting allows your pets to remain in the comfort of their own home while a trained pet sitter visits throughout the day to provide personalised care.

Unlike pet boarding Hills District, where pets are transported to a kennel or cattery, in-home pet sitting keeps your pet in a familiar environment with their usual routine, smells and comforts.

For many dogs and cats, this significantly reduces stress and anxiety while their owners are away.

What's Included in Every Holiday Care Visit?

Every visit is tailored to your pet's routine, but generally includes:

Feeding & Fresh Water

We follow your feeding instructions exactly, ensuring your pet receives the correct food, portions and fresh water every visit.

Exercise & Toilet Breaks

For dogs, we can include walks, backyard play or enrichment activities depending on your dog's age, health and routine.

Health & Wellbeing Checks

Every visit includes a visual health check. We monitor your pet for anything unusual, including:

• Changes in appetite or water intake

• Vomiting or diarrhoea

• Limping or signs of pain

• Skin irritations or wounds

• Changes in behaviour or energy levels

• General wellbeing

If we notice anything concerning, we'll contact you promptly and, if necessary, follow your emergency care instructions.

Whether you're looking for dog sitting in Kellyville, dog sitting in Kings Langley, or dog sitting in Marsden Park, our goal is to keep your dog's routine as consistent as possible.

Cat Care

Our cat sitting in Kellyville service includes everything your cat needs while remaining comfortably at home.

This includes:

• Feeding

• Fresh water

• Litter tray cleaning

• Medication (if required)

• Playtime (if they enjoy it!)

• Plenty of quiet companionship for more independent cats

Many cats cope far better staying at home than travelling to a cattery.

Medication

Need medication administered?

No problem.

We're experienced in providing oral medications, supplements and other routine treatments as instructed.

Playtime & Enrichment

Every pet is different.

Some love a game of fetch.

Others enjoy puzzle toys, sniffing games or simply sitting together for cuddles.

We tailor every visit to your pet's personality.

Daily Photo & Video Updates

One of our clients' favourite features!

After every visit you'll receive:

• Photos

• Videos

• A personalised report

• Confirmation your pet has eaten, toileted and how they're feeling

You'll never have to wonder how your pet is doing.

Home Care While You're Away

Holiday care isn't just about your pets.

We can also:

• Bring bins in

• Collect mail

• Water plants

• Alternate lights

• Open and close blinds

• Perform a general home security check

This helps your home look lived in while you're away.

Is Pet Sitting Better Than Pet Boarding?

The answer depends on your pet.

Pet boarding can be a great option for confident, highly social pets that cope well in unfamiliar environments.

However, many pets feel safer remaining at home.

Pet Sitting

✔ Familiar environment

✔ Normal routine

✔ One-on-one attention

✔ Less stress

✔ Great for senior pets

✔ Perfect for nervous or rescue pets

✔ No transport required
