🐾 A Little Update for My Wonderful Clients 🐾

First, I want to say a heartfelt THANK YOU to everyone who has trusted me with your pets and your homes over the years. Caring for your furry family members is something I truly love, and I’m incredibly grateful for the friendships and trust that have grown through my pet and house-sitting business.

Beginning October 1, 2026, I will be making a small adjustment to my pet and house-sitting rates.

Like so many things, the costs associated with providing dependable, quality pet care have increased. This adjustment will allow me to continue giving your pets the time, attention, love, and care they deserve while also providing the reliable service you’ve come to expect.

I understand that any price increase matters, and I’ve given this decision a great deal of thought. My goal is to keep my rates fair while continuing to provide the personal, loving care I would want for my own pets.

Thank you for supporting my small business and, most importantly, for trusting me with some of the most precious members of your family. ❤️

With gratitude,
Rani

Tucker Budzyn, one of the internet's most beloved dogs, has passed away after a short battle with cancer. Tucker was born on May 3rd, 2018, and shortly after, his human Courtney began posting his life online. He quickly gained millions of followers across Instagram, Tiktok, and Youtube. He went on to win Pet Influencer of the Year in both 2021 and 2022. In a video posted earlier today announcing the news, Courtney said through tears, "Tucker, I love you so much. You saved my life. There’s nothing in this world that I wouldn’t have done for him. He was literally part of me. He was part of my soul. It feels like I lost a body part." We are awarding him our highest honor, 15/10 ❤️
