What to do with Mufasa while away

[Miss Vicky]

I've always just left a house key with a trusted neighbor and had them come over to feed/water/check on my pets while I was away. This works especially well for me, because my animals get to stay at home and, since they know this neighbor well, don't have the stress of being handled by a stranger.

The drawback to this strategy is, of course, that you have to have a neighbor that both you and your animals trust.
