PETS Cat-proofing hacks House-sitters care for dogs

HOUSE-SITTERS can play a vital role in the care of pet dogs, especially in the summer months when we tend to holiday away from home. Most of our house­sitters have dog care experience and know that keeping them cool and entertained and healthy while you are a way is vital. House­sitters can help you with that.

If you’re planning a trip, register now to find pet­sitters in time. Whether your trip is short or long, you’ll know that sometimes you must leave pets at home. Young and senior pets in particular benefit from staying at home, so they can follow their routines undisturbed.

AS much as we love our feline friends, their playful nature can wreak havoc on our furniture. Scratched couches, chairs, and tables are a familiar sight to most cat owners. However, cat ­ proofing your home does not mean sacrificing style for function.

Thankfully, there are some easy hacks you can use to keep your home safe and kitty ­ friendly. One simple trick is to cover up any exposed wires or cords so that your cat can’t chew through them.

Another is to keep fragile or valuable objects out of your cat’s reach by placing them on high shelves or in cabinets with secure doors.

Finally, make sure to keep all household cleaning products stored safely away from your cat’s reach. With these simple hacks, you can create a safe and happy home for you and your feline friend.

When it comes to having cats in the house, it’s important to set some boundaries right from the start. One of the best tips is to block off areas that are off ­ limits to your feline friends, such as stairs or high counters. This will help keep them safe and prevent any potential accidents from happening.
