This will save you from rummaging through boxes looking for these items.

8. Take Care of Your Pets
If you have pets, make sure you have a plan for them on moving day. This could mean arranging for a friend to look after them or keeping them in a quiet room away from the chaos. Pack their food and water bowls and bed in a place you can access quickly. 

9. Do a Final Walkthrough
Before you leave your old home, Take one last walkthrough to make sure you haven’t left anything behind. Make sure to check all cupboards, drawers, the attic and closets. It’s also a good time to take meter readings for your records. But do take a few minutes to yourself and remember the happy times this home has given you and say goodbye for one last time.

Once you’ve moved in, take some time to settle in and enjoy your new home. Unpack at your own pace and don’t stress about getting everything perfect immediately.
