Often the only known solution for people who cannot travel with their pet. The pension has many advantages:your companion is rarely alone and the kennels are subject to strict regulations. Treatments are carried out by professionals. The only real problem:the price. Indeed, a day can cost between 10 and 20 euros (or even more depending on the standing of the pension) depending on the size and breed of the animal. Not very profitable if you leave for more than a week!
Several websites offering an alternating custody system between neighbors have emerged in recent years. These sites list the families available to keep your companion during your vacation. In exchange, it will be you who will keep their animal during their next vacation! The exchange is free, apart from the registration fees on the site (about 30 euros). And in addition, Médor will make friends! If you can't find the shoe that suits you, you can always look for a host family who will take care of your dog, cat or rabbit for a fee (again prices vary depending on the type of animal and its size) .
In the case of animals that are more independent and do not require a daily presence (such as cats), pet-sitting represents a compromise between boarding and shared custody. According to a program established in advance, a professional (approved pet-sitter) comes to take care of your pet at your home. It is up to you to determine the number of visits, their duration, etc. That way Minou won't be out of place and will have some company. Pet-sitters are paid by the hour or by the day (for a maximum of 20 euros per day).
