The Challenges of Traveling with Pets

Traveling can be stressful, especially when you have pets at home. Small animals like hamsters, birds, fish, or even cats require precise and personalized care that can’t be interrupted. Leaving them unattended or in the wrong hands can lead to health issues, stress, or even accidents.

That’s why ActiveHome offers a specialized pet care service to ensure your furry, feathered, or finned friends are well cared for in your absence.

Hamsters and Small Rodents: 

Small rodents like hamsters, guinea pigs, or mice require consistent care to stay healthy and happy. At ActiveHome, we:

Provide fresh food and water daily, ensuring they have a balanced diet.
Clean their habitat regularly, removing waste and
refreshing bedding to maintain a hygienic environment.
Check their activity levels to ensure they’re active and stress-free.

Birds:

Birds are social creatures that need attention and a clean environment. Our care includes:

Feeding them a proper diet, including seeds, fruits, or pellets, depending on their species.
Cleaning their cages to remove droppings and replace liners.
Offering social interaction, such as talking to them or letting them out of the cage (if safe), to prevent loneliness.

Fish

Fish may seem low-maintenance, but their environment requires careful monitoring. We:

Check water quality regularly, testing pH levels and temperature to ensure a healthy habitat.
Feed them the right amount of food, avoiding overfeeding, which can pollute the water.
Inspect equipment like filters, heaters, and pumps to ensure everything is functioning properly.

Cats

Cats are independent but still need basic care and attention. Our service includes:

Feeding them according to their schedule, whether it’s dry food, wet food, or a special diet.
Cleaning the litter box daily to maintain hygiene and comfort.
Providing playtime and affection to keep them mentally stimulated and happy while you’re away.

About Dogs:

Dogs require daily attention, including walks, feeding, and social interaction, which makes their care more demanding than other pets.

For this reason, ActiveHome does not currently include dog care in our standard services.

However, we understand how important your furry friend is, so we’re happy to connect you with trusted, experienced dog sitters on the island who can provide the dedicated care your dog needs.
