My dogs only need to be let out in fenced back yard for an hour in the morning about 8 a.m. after feeding them. Then same routine again about 5 p.m. Cats are easy just keep food bowl full. And clean cat box once a day. I will only be gone until Sunday afternoon so Sunday afternoon care isn't needed. I have never used a pet sitter so this is a test run for a few future longer trips.
