Description

The study of 1,000 pet owners for TrustedHousesitters examined the lifestyle impacts that pets have on our travel habits. With 5.7 million households owning a pet in Australia, roughly 4 million people choose to stay at home rather than getting away, due to concerns around their pet’s wellbeing.

• New research from TrustedHousesitters examines the travel habits of Aussie pet owners
• One in 10 cancelled a holiday at least once to be at home with their furry friend
• One in three won’t go overseas on holiday if they don’t have adequate pet care
