Never would I have thought I would have to care for a back surgery dog a week after her surgery for 20 days!!! Pawrents trip to Europe was a gift from their daughter that couldn't be changed. So what do you do for said dog when they can't put pressure or use their back legs without a sling & are confined to a enclosure to keep them calm. You put them in a stroller to enjoy different scenery & you get more steps in!!! Win win!!! She loved her walk!!! ❤️♥️

This guy Kyndal Ray Edwards showed up on my personal page 2 days before he left NC & walked to VA. He was walking through our city & I was not far from the route he was on. I wanted to personally say thank you to him & donate, as even I have suffered from depression as a teenager & an adult. Let me tell you even though I walk dogs Mon-Fri I couldn't keep up with his pace he was booking it!!! The weather was also a concern but thankfully held off. Please like & share. Follow him to see where he is headed next bringing awareness to Mental Health & check out his story!!

Solo sitters are not immune to mental health issues. We experience loss of client's, their pets, & our own pets as my husband & I just lost one of ours 2 weeks ago. We experience burn out from our job. If you get a chance like & follow him to see if he is coming to a city near you!!! Sending prayers for his safe journey!!!

With deteriorating air quality and oppressive heat over the next few days, doctors are advising people to take precautions, especially those with respiratory problems.

I have been to 2 visits & it's been hazy out in spots. I thankfully only have 2 dog walks today. Be safe outside today everyone. Stay in & keep your pets in, it's hot & humid without the smoke! Prayers for Canada & the wildfires!

This is something that has been on my mind lately after waking up one morning to a alert on my phone about a house fire on a street I was only filling outside bird feeders for but I started to panic. When I read 3 people were displaced I knew it wasn't my client's home. But then I read no one was home so all 3 occupants were ok but their beloved family dog didn't make it. Just gut wrenching! It really made me grateful for neighbors that look out for neighbors & alarm systems that can detect smoke! Thankfully not something I have had to experience & I hope I never have to whether my own or family/clients/friends but I have started looking to at least have a fire extinguisher in my car & probably should know where clients keep theirs if they have one.

What do you other sitters do if anything? Do you have a fire extinguisher or even a fire blanket? Do you ask either at a meet & greet or on your contract about fire extinguishers? I sadly have not asked or have it on my contract. Something to think about....

I walk a Kangal & Dalmatian daily Monday-Friday. I will only wear 1 over the ear open ear bud when walking incase I get a call & so I can be aware of my surroundings because the Kangal can be dog selective & if you have never heard a Kangal before they have a deep booming noise they make almost to me sounds like a hyena cackle, I'm sure is scary to people who don't know the breed. This week I've been listening to music on our walk for a distraction after having to say goodbye to our sweet girl Laci on Monday! She is so missed! I have to say Spotify has a FIFA World Cup 2026 play list that I am loving!! The dogs are like can we slow down please lol.

Hi to all fellow Pet Sitters & new followers! Thank you for coming to my page! I'm a solo Pet Sitter located in Chesapeake, VA. My husband & 2 now adult children used to rescue Rottweilers & we took a break after losing so many to cancer. Our daughter was headed back to college in 2013 & wanted a husky. We rescued Maverick in June of 2013 and I fell in love. He ended up having to stay with us & never left, no complaints from us!! Then we rescued 1 a year after him until 2016. Now my husband & I are the crazy husky couple along with some cats, chickens, & ducks!! This year I am celebrating 20 yrs of being in business. I was a sitter for another company before going on my own, so total 25 years as a pet sitter!!!!

Welcome again to my page & thank you all for being here!! Sarah's Dog Walking Lis's Pet Sitting Service Susan Marie Morin Elisabeth Larsen Mandy Ann Bluma Heather Flietner SeaWinds OBX
