But with a little research and ­forward planning leaving a pet does not have to seem so daunting. The basic options for owners are: leave a pet with family or friends, ­employ a pet sitter who comes to your home or who takes them in or use a kennel or cattery. Leaving a cat or dog with a trusted family member or friend can be ideal. Pet sitters visit or live in your home while you are away and look after your pet for a fee. A good kennel will ask lots of ­questions about your pet, including diet, to help keep to their routine.
