What people THINK being a professional pet-sitter is like:
All games, No rules 🤪🙃😄
It's easy/low effort 🍰 🥱😴
Nothing but fun 🌞🥳🤩
What being a professional pet-sitter is actually like:
Lots of rules, with some games 📋🤓🥎
We work almost every single day, no matter the holiday or weather ⛈️☀️❄️
Sometimes we have to say goodbye 🥺💔🌈
The truth is, we love what we do, but it's not always easy. We've been doing this for 3 years and have grown attached to almost a hundred pets. As you can imagine, we've had to say goodbye many times to babies that were close to our hearts, and it never gets easier.
On our way to a final visit this afternoon I had a thought. The only positive to pets having a shorter lifespan than us is that it gives us as pet parents the opportunity to love and care for many more fur babies that way. ❤️🩹
If you are one of those pet parents who have lost a baby (or two) please know we think and talk about them often, they won't be forgotten. 💓
