technology:

you are away even if it is just a few hours, you can install dog cameras &
monitor in your house. With the cameras you can check on your pooch anytime of
the day, this instantly calms you down and also makes your pet safe in case
there are any intruders.

pet sitter:

your pet’s situation. This way their schedule isn’t disturbed as well, and they
get fed and taken for a walk on their regular time and they won’t feel as
lonely. Ensure to get your pet comfortable around the pet sitter before you
leave for your trip. You can schedule a few bonding sessions for them while you
are around, this makes it easier for your pet to trust them as well.

help from your neighbors:

4. Necessary supplies for your pets:
Before you leave for your trip, make sure you check if their food is stocked up or their medicines are available in case your pet needs to take them on a regular basis.

collar. GPS collars help pet parents track their pet and helps them know where
their pet exactly is.
