As summer approaches, many pet parents in Lake Mary and across Seminole County are looking forward to much-needed vacations. But for those with furry family members, one important question always arises: “What should I do with my pets while I’m away?”
While boarding kennels might seem like a convenient solution, in-home pet sitting offers a more personalized, comfortable, and stress-free experience for your pets. Here’s why choosing a professional pet sitter could be the best decision you make for your pet this summer.
1. Comfort of Home
Pets thrive on routine and familiarity. With in-home pet sitting, your dog or cat stays in their own environment — surrounded by their favorite toys, bed, and smells. No loud barking, unfamiliar cages, or stressful car rides. Just the comfort of home.
2. Less Stress, More Tail Wags
Kennels can be overwhelming for pets, especially those who are shy, elderly, or anxious. At home, your pets get one-on-one attention from a trained sitter who understands their needs and respects their routine.
3. Consistent Routine
At Lux Pet Sitting, we stick to your pet’s usual feeding, walking, and playtime schedule. That means less disruption, fewer behavioral issues, and a happier pet when you return.
4. Customized Care & Special Needs
Whether your pet needs daily medication, a special diet, or just some extra TLC, a professional sitter can provide that personalized attention. Boarding facilities often have limited staff-to-pet ratios, meaning your pet might not get the level of care they need.
5. Peace of Mind While You’re Away
We know how much you love your pets — that’s why we send regular updates, photos, and messages so you can relax on vacation knowing your pets are safe and happy at home.
6. No Post-Kennel Cleanup
Let’s be real: some pets come home from kennels needing a bath, extra vet visits, or time to decompress. With in-home care, there’s no kennel cough, stress shedding, or sudden behavior changes — just a smooth reunion and wagging tails.
