Order your pet’s name/address tags before you move; secure the new tags on moving day. Consider a micro-chip in the event your pet gets loose in an unfamiliar neighborhood.
Pack an overnight bag for your precious pooches and curious cats. Include medicine, treats, leashes, bedding… whatever you know will provide comfort to your 4-legged friends in a new environment.
Visit the vet before you leave – up date shots, get copies of your pet’s medical history.
Choose a pet carrier for comfort. Account for size, cross-ventilation, and a secure door latch. Place a favorite toy and blanket inside to help your pet feel secure.
As much as you can, keep your pet away from the chaos of the move. Research doggie day-care in your new city.
De-clutter electronics, and e-waste or donate items and equipment no longer in use.
Recycle/shred papers no longer relevant to you. For high-volume shredding, consider a certified shred company to do the job.
Take a picture of all the plug-ins/cords, code with tape naming each cord, remove from outlets.
Pack a box that contains everything you need to re-start your office upon arrival to your new space (stationary, stamps, invoices, pens, staples, tape, etc.).
Back up, back up, back up!!! Computer files, important documents, etc. Consider scanning/digitizing critical documents.
