How to Travel When You Have Pets at Home

Leaving your pet when you travel can be hard, but there are plenty of ways to make it easier for both of you. In this post, we’ll share some simple options to help you feel at ease while you're away, knowing your pet is safe and happy.

Solutions to Travel Without Pets

For pet parents who need to travel, making sure that their furry friends are cared for is essential. There are several solutions to make things less stressful for everyone:

• Hiring a professional or trusted pet sitter is one of the best ways to ensure your pet is cared for in the comfort of their home.
• If you'd prefer to leave your pet in a structured environment, consider a reputable boarding facility. Many offer a range of services, including playtime, grooming, and even webcams so you can check in on your pet while you’re away.
• For a more luxurious experience, some pet owners opt for pet hotels and resorts that provide a hotel-like experience for their pets. These places offer amenities such as individual suites, interactive playtime, and specialized care. It's a good option if you want your pet to receive top-tier service while you're traveling.
• Many veterinary clinics offer boarding services for pets, especially if they need medical care or supervision. This option is ideal for pets with special health requirements or if you're concerned about emergencies. You can rest easy knowing that trained veterinary staff is available in case of any health issues.
• If you're close to friends or family who are familiar with your pet, this can be a great solution. Many pets are more comfortable in a familiar environment, and loved ones are often happy to help.
• Apps like Rover, Wag!, and PetBacker allow pet owners to find vetted sitters or dog walkers in their area. These services typically offer short-term care, and you can choose someone who fits your pet's needs.

Smart Home Camera May Help

Life sometimes pulls us away from the comfort of our homes, leaving behind only our cozy beds and those adorable furballs eagerly awaiting our return. Wouldn’t it be great to peek in, check on your pet, and reassure them that everything's okay? Especially if they seem distressed because you’re away.

That's where a smart home camera becomes invaluable. Take Genie S, which helps you connect with your pet seamlessly:

Live Video Streaming

Whenever you feel that tug in your heart from missing your pet, just open the Psync app, and with a tap, you can check on your home. Adjust the angles of the camera to get a closer look at your little buddy, and it’s almost like you’re back on the couch together, sharing that quiet, cozy moment.

Intelligent Object Tracking

The Genie S is a smart observer. It recognizes your pet and automatically tracks their movements. No more worrying about whether your pet is out of sight—this camera keeps them front and center, making them the star of your remote comfort show.

Two-Way Communication

Your pet might not fully understand what you’re saying, but the familiar sound of your voice can work wonders. With the two-way communication feature, Genie S lets you speak to your pet remotely. When you call out, you’ll often hear that familiar bark or meow in response. It’s like a mini-reunion.

Smart Text Alerts for Pet Activities

Sometimes, it’s the little things that make all the difference. With ViewSay enabled, Genie S sends you sweet push notifications, like, “A dog is eating a meal, while a cat snoozes on a gray couch.” These tiny updates let you know everything’s alright at home.

Ensure Pet Safety and Well-being

While the Genie S serves as a smart camera for your home, it also acts as a guardian for your pet. It helps keep an eye on your home’s security while giving you the peace of mind that your furry friend is safe and sound. If something unusual happens, you’ll know right away and can take action swiftly.
