Going on a trip? A pet care checklist for Manila and Boracay fur parents

Holidays, work trips or a weekend in Boracay: a simple checklist so your pet's care is sorted before you pack.

Whether it's a holiday abroad, a work trip or a long weekend on the island, planning your pet's care early takes the stress out of travelling. Here's the checklist we share with our clients.

Two weeks before

  • Book your sitter early. Holidays and long weekends fill up fast, and bookings made 24 hours or less before check-in carry a rush fee.
  • Confirm your area. We match you with the sitter nearest your home in Metro Manila, Luzon or Boracay.
  • Check vaccinations. Pets need to be up to date and free of contagious illness.
  • Schedule a meet & greet so your pet knows their sitter before you leave.

A few days before

  • Buy enough food, treats, litter and medication for the whole trip, plus a few extra days.
  • Write your pet's routine and quirks on one page.
  • Leave your vet's details and an emergency contact.
  • Prepare keys, codes and guest passes.
  • Complete full payment to confirm your booking.

On the day

  • Keep goodbyes short and calm; long goodbyes can make pets anxious.
  • Leave something that smells like you, like an old T-shirt in their bed.
  • Keep your phone handy for the first update.

While you're away

Relax. Your sitter keeps your pet's routine and sends photo and video updates, so you can enjoy your trip.
