It’s important to have a plan in place for your pets in case something happens to you. Your pet will likely be distressed without you and would benefit from staying with someone familiar, if they can’t go to a permanent home right away.

Island woman magazine for Vancouver Island women writers Each animal has individual needs, and you know your pet best. You should consider who would be the best caregiver for your pet, both temporarily and permanently, if those arrangements are different.

Hiring a pet sitter could be a good interim solution if the permanent caregiver isn’t immediately available. You may need to account for short-term pet care expenses. The cost of a pet sitter and other pet care expenses can be specified in your will with the help of your legal representative.

Discussing and agreeing on pet care arrangements with the person you’ve chosen is essential. Let them know you’ll document this decision. Unwanted pets could end up in a shelter, which would be distressing for both your pet and your loved ones.
