Making sure your pets have an easy transition is one of the most important aspects of the local moving process. We want to ensure your pets stay safe and happy throughout and aren’t too disturbed by the move. The best thing we advise our local moving clients to do is to either set up a pet sitter for your animal, or a day care visit during the move. This will make sure they aren’t upset or disrupted by the movers and are safe throughout. If you’re unable to do that, we advise that you set aside a room for your pet, just make sure it is empty except for items you’ll be taking with you, such as a pet bed, any comforting toys, and a food and water bowl. Then, designate it as a “do not enter” area for movers, so your pet can ride out the move relatively undisturbed. For other tips, please look in our Checklist for Moving with Pets, where we have compiled all of our best practices for keeping your fur babies happy and safe during your local move.
