Are you a digital nomad who loves being on the go? Maybe you’re also a proud pet owner who wants to bring your furry companion along for all the adventures. While managing your digital nomad lifestyle and pet ownership may seem like a lot, it can be done! Today, Paws 2 Purrfection Promotions presents this list of helpful tips to help you manage the two.

ON THE PET'S SIDE:

Find Pet-Friendly Accommodations:

If you decide to embark on this adventure with your pets, then you need to find suitable accommodations. There are plenty of places out there that allow pets, but make sure to do extensive research before booking. Read reviews of past guests who have brought their pets, and check out amenities offered, like nearby dog parks or rules about managing cat litter boxes indoors.

Establish A Regular Routine:

Having structure in life can be beneficial for both yourself and your animal companion while living life on the road as a digital nomad. Regular meal times, walks, or play-dates will provide normalcy when everything else around you feels chaotic and unpredictable.

As a digital nomad, it’s important to remember that your pet will need attention and care. Because of this, it’s important to determine how much time you can dedicate to exercise, playing, and bonding with your pet. This will help you determine if having a pet is feasible for your current lifestyle or if there are too many limitations.

Make Sure Your Pet Is Cared For:

One of the most important things to do with life on the road is to research local vets in each area where you plan on staying for an extended period. Find out what services they offer, what vaccinations are required in the state or country, and any other questions you may have about caring for your pet while traveling.

Depending on where you are traveling and how long you plan on staying, it may be necessary to update vaccinations for your pet so they remain healthy and safe while exploring new places with their favorite human.

Finally, what your pet eats matters a lot. After all, their health can obviously have a big impact on their mood (and yours). So If you’re in search of beef dog food you can trust, you may consider this.

ON YOUR SIDE:

Create A Killer Portfolio:

Chances are, most people won’t take your word that “you travel around all day working remotely.” Building an online portfolio will demonstrate that you are doing something productive, even when sitting in cafes with your laptop — and you have the work to show for it.

Market Your Services Creatively:

For the modern-age digital nomad, try crafting your very own business card to help get the word out. If you’re striving to maintain a professional identity in the world of freelancing, you know every impression counts, so why not pick something that showcases your style? Whether it’s giving a nod to your wanderlust-filled lifestyle with a colorful map-inspired backdrop or choosing something sleek and minimalist that best reflects your brand, your business card should give potential employers the opportunity to learn about who you are.

Don’t Forget Your Taxes

Don't get run out of a new country because of delinquent taxes. Rather, research tax laws and keep track of when the tax return date is in each country you live in so you can file your report on time. Making sure your taxes are managed will give you the peace of mind that only comes with financial security across borders and cultures.

Although managing being a digital nomad and pet owner at the same time may seem difficult, it is possible. Do plenty of research beforehand so that both yourself and your furry friend have an enjoyable journey ahead filled with adventure and exploration, as well as safety and security. With these simple tips, you, too, can become a successful and responsible digital nomad.
