Walking into the world of pet care, we often hear terms like ‘Dog Walker,’ ‘Dog Sitter,’ and ‘Pet Sitter.’

But what’s the real difference? 🤔 Here’s a leash-up on pet care lingo!

A Dog Walker, as the name suggests, primarily focuses on walking dogs, usually during the workweek. They guarantee your fur-baby gets the daily exercise and outdoor play that they need. 🐾🚶‍♀️

A Dog Sitter, on the other hand, is responsible for all the care your dog needs while you’re away, which can include feeding, providing medication, and yes, walks too. They’re your pooch’s substitute parent until you return! 🐶💕

And a Pet Sitter? Just like a Dog Sitter, but for all types of pets! Whether it’s a cat, bird, or turtle- if you’ve got any type of pet that needs care while you’re away, they’re your go-to person. 🐱🐦🐢

Let’s remember: the specific job titles can often be used interchangeably, but understanding the small differences can help you find the perfect fit for your furry friend! 💫

🎉 Happy 1-Year Anniversary to the ultimate pup-whisperer, Abbi! 🐾💕 From endless tail wags to countless happy paws, you've been the best friend every dog (and dog parent!) could ask for. Here's to a year of adventures, snuggles, and walks filled with love. Cheers to many more! 🦴🐶✨

You know you’ve been here . . . Ever feel like you can’t even use the bathroom in peace because your furry friend just has to be there with you, watching and waiting? Most of us have experienced the, um, sheer joy of having a very cute (but well-meaning) audience while we feel nature’s call.

Who needs privacy when you have such a loyal friend, right?

So, to all the dogs out there who just have to follow their owners into the bathroom: thank you for your unwavering support and companionship—even in our less attractive moments. And to all the pet owners out there: solidarity. You’re not the only ones trying to avoid eye contact.

May the odds be ever in your favor, fellow dog-owners!

🐾 November is Adopt a Senior Pet Month! As we celebrate the holidays with our furry friends, let’s not forget about older animals who are often overlooked in shelters and rescues. Senior pets can make amazing companions with their training, calm demeanor and love of snuggles.

Adopting a senior pet can be a wonderful experience for pet parents. You’ll give a loving home to an animal in need and form a special bond with a wise and loyal companion. Plus, older pets often require less exercise and training than younger ones, making them a great choice for very busy or less physically active households.

If you’re thinking about adopting this season, why not consider a senior? Head to your local shelter and meet some of the amazing older pets waiting for their forever homes. You might just find your perfect match.

Share a pic of your senior pet in the comments below and show some love for these amazing animals! 📸🐾

Dogs vs. cats . . . which do you choose?

While dogs have their talents, cats are smart in their own unique way. They’re independent thinkers, curious explorers, and have a knack for getting themselves into (and out of) sticky situations.

Worried about walking your dog in the dark?

Fear not, as your furry friend has better night vision than you! While dogs cannot see in complete darkness, they have an advantage in low light conditions because they can detect and process light more efficiently.

So next time you’re out on a walk in the evening, trust your pup’s eyes and enjoy the stroll together! 🌙🐾

Wouldn’t it be nice if they played with actual toys every once in a while? What’s something ridiculous your dog has “played” with recently?
