Even though Leo comes with us nearly anywhere we go in a normal week, he, unfortunately, has to stay behind when we take a weekend trip somewhere that is not dog-friendly or requires an airplane ride to get there.
The first weekend trip we took without Leo was when he was
about 5 months old. considering that we didn’t have any individual close to ask to take care of
him, we did our research on where to board him. We looked at our vet, a handful
of pet boarding facilities, and private home care supplied through mobile apps.
We made a decision to leave Leo with a verified pet sitter I had met through an app.
Even though he didn’t know what was going on, Leo seemed ecstatic to be dropped
off to play with his new friend. Over the weekend I was delighted to receive
updates and pictures of Leo. When I came back to pick him up, he seemed fine
and was delighted to come home with me. The next morning, however, Leo was not
doing well. He was sneezing, had eye discharge, and wasn’t feeling well. We
immediately took him to the vet and he had contracted an infection. Luckily, he
was perfectly fine a week later after a round of antibiotics.
After our first experience boarding Leo, we were very weary about what we could do when we took trips. There was a pet’s hotel near us that we made a decision to try because the facility looked very clean, they required vaccinations, and we did our puppy training in the same location. We didn’t get picture updates when we were gone, but when we picked Leo up he was a very delighted and healthy pup. We’ve been taking Leo to the same place considering that then and we’re delighted we don’t have to worry about Leo too much when we take a weekend trip. He’s always been delighted to walk in, so delighted that he drags us to the check-in counter and doesn’t even glance back at us after being handed over to an employee.
