How to leave your pets alone while on vacation
Assess your pet's needs.
All pets are different and have unique personalities. Some do well when left alone for longer periods of time and others do not.
Pets that are more social, have medical conditions, or that are used to having lots of interaction with others may not do as well on their own for long periods of time. Also consider your pet's feeding schedule or if your pet likes to get into things and make a mess when you are not around.
