Oxford’s pet parents arranged for their cats to stay elsewhere during the transition.
Create a “Go-Bag” of two or three days of supplies such as food, treats, and bedding.
If you moving out-of-the-area, check-in with your vet office and make sure you have copies of all of your pet’s records and sufficient medications until you can establish a relationship with your new vet.
If your carriers are not out regularly, set them out with toys and something snuggly inside so they can start to see the carriers as a comfort zone.
Consider arranging for your pet to stay elsewhere doing this stressful time.
THE MOVE
Transport the pet to your new location in your own vehicle if possible.
Use your travel carrier and/or keep animal leashed.
YOUR NEW LOCATION
Use a pheromone plug-in like Feliway prior to moving your pet in both the old and new location to ease anxiety.
Lock pets in a secure room while getting settled.
Conduct a walk through to identify and remedy possible problem areas for kitty.
Check basement and garage for things like odd storage places where kitty can hide or antifreeze pools to remove.
Update microchip contact information.
Outfit kitty in a breakaway collar with new contact information – just in case.
Meet the neighbors and introduce yourself. Show them photos of your kitty.
Be aware of kitty’s needs and set-up some cat friendly areas.
Set-up at least one room before you move your pet so you have a safe and secure place to hang out while the rest of the oasis is being created.
Your pet may be more comfortable if you expand their space gradually.
I bought Jonann’s pet visit package last year at an Auction and it was the best purchase I made. I never think twice about having to leave my pets because I know that Jonann will be there and she treats them as her own. She is trustworthily, honest and flexible. I have had to call her at the last minute and she comes to my rescue. I highly recommend her. This is one decision you don’t have to think twice about.

Jonann is hands down the best pet sitter I have ever used. She is very professional, warm and reliable. She always sends me updates on my cat while I am away, and spends a lot of time snuggling with him. Her price is very reasonable and a real steal for the quality of care. I highly recommend her!

I have used Jonann for daily walks & now when I am traveling. She is the best. She makes you feel comfortable & secure knowing your pets will be safe & your home looked after. She kept me informed of Gypsy & Buddie’s care while we were away. I honestly didn’t miss them because I knew they were in her care. I think its a vacation for them when I go away because she pampers them & treats them with such love.

When Jonann Wild takes care of your furry companions, you know they are in the hands of a professional who provides a dependable and loving service. You can leave home and know your pet is completely safe, pampered, and well-tended. She has taken care of my Yanks several times for long stretches–e.g. 2 weeks or more, so I know personally how much her services mean to me.

Jonann is hands down the BEST cat sitter I’ve had in my seven years with Callie.
