It’s hard to think about the holidays when it’s hot outside, but make no mistake: booking holiday dog services now is a smart choice and one you’ll be glad you made. As the holidays approach, everything fills up—restaurants, flights, family calendars, and yes, pet services too.
If you think you will need mobile grooming, pet sitting, and dog walking in November or December, it’s a good idea to go ahead and book now. Whether you're traveling for Thanksgiving or hosting for Christmas, Woofie’s® of Bel Air is here to help you enjoy the season without worry.
Here’s why you should book early:
1. Pet sitting, grooming, and walking appointments fill up fast during the holidays.
Holiday weeks are usually the busiest time of the year for us. A lot of people need to travel during this time, which means pet sitters, groomers, and walkers often book out weeks (sometimes months) in advance.
Booking now gives you the best shot at securing your preferred dates, times, and sitter.
2. You’re likely to be busy during the holidays, and this means one less thing to juggle.
Traveling or hosting? Both mean big changes to your dog’s routine.
Booking care now helps you make sure that you don’t have to worry about pet care while you have a turkey in the oven. Whether that means having an in-home sitter you already know or a mobile groomer who comes straight to your driveway, you can rest easier this holiday season knowing that you’ve already planned ahead.
3. Last-minute bookings are possible, but you might not get your preferred date.
Waiting too long means your top-choice dates—or your dog’s favorite sitter—might not be available. Planning ahead gives you flexibility, peace of mind, and one less thing to juggle during the busy season.
4. Booking grooming now means your pup won’t look shaggy in the holiday card.
Want your pup looking fresh for family photos or Instagram-worthy holiday cards? You’re not the only one.
Mobile grooming appointments for November and December go quickly, especially for breeds like doodles and spaniels that need routine touch-ups.
5. Some dogs need extra time to warm up if they’re new to the service.
If your dog hasn’t met their walker or sitter yet, now’s the time. Scheduling a meet-and-greet before the holiday rush helps them become more comfortable, so you’re not introducing someone new during an already busy time.
6. You’ll be able to enjoy the holidays with less stress.
This one’s simple: when you know your dog is cared for, you can relax.
Whether you’re out seeing lights downtown, cooking with family, or catching a red-eye out of BWI (or DCA or IAD if you’re unlucky), peace of mind makes the season better for everyone.
