Back to the Monday blues. ☔️

A few announcements I want to make!

1. Summer is officially over! We are getting less drop-ins throughout the weekend and more during the weekdays. I’m offering our $20 drop-ins until summer starts back up so if you’re interested in getting on the schedule Monday through Friday, let me know asap. I only have a few spots left depending on time!
2. From this moment forward I am recommending clients to schedule their dates and times in the PocketSuite app. Therefore there are no miscommunications on when I’m supposed to be there, it is also extremely important that you look at your invoice before you leave to ensure all needed visits are covered.
3. Invoices should be paid the day before services start, I have been very lenient on invoices. A finance charge of 10% per month will be added to unpaid balances 5 days after services have been completed.

Thank you if you stayed for all of this! I wear all the hats here and it can be extremely stressful when I’ve got 5 clients asking me for 5 different dates all on the same day as I’m also out running to and from visits. I love PocketSuite for myself but it also gives my clients a great app to navigate so you don’t have to sit around waiting for a text back from me.

Lastly, I just want to add in that we have been nominated again for Baldwin’s best of best, our 3rd year in a row being nominated. Both previous years we made it into the final round. Nominations are from now until Oct. 9th then voting starts on Oct. 23rd until Nov. 20th. You can nominate and vote once every single day until it ends. Here’s a direct link to nominate us!

These two may look happy.
But their entire world has been flipped upside down.

They lost their mama recently, who adored them to the moon .

They recently became The Pretty Pittie Committee kids!

We have them safe with a foster, until we can find them something permanent.

So far we know the girls are friendly with other dogs, we don’t know if they ever lived with kids or cats.
They definitely depend on eachother . They are not biological sisters but have lived together for their entire beings. And are house trained!

Princess ( black and tan ) 5 spayed female
phoebe ( red ) 4 spayed female

They both are medically up to date , and heart worm negative.

If you are interested in letting these girls spend the rest of their lives together with you please apply below.

Located in Mobile but can travel

Happy Monday & Happy July! ❤️🤍💙

We are only a few days away from the holiday, it’s a very important time to have necessary measures in place for those pets that aren’t going to be happy come shoot off time. If you’re pet needs medicine please get in touch with their vet and get those orders in so they can get them filled in an appropriate time. Even if your pet isn’t typically scared of fireworks please ensure if they are outside they have a collar with yours and or your vets information so they can safely make their way back to you, it takes 1 second for a dog to get frightened and to start running. If you don’t have tags you can use some painters tape wrapped around their collar and a sharpie to write your information down. It’s also a great time to leave them indoors where they will absolutely be safe! We hope everyone has a great & safe Holiday, if you’re traveling we hope for safe travels and no traffic jams & get in touch with us if you need us for any pet sitting needs! 🐶🐱🦜🐓🐍🦎🐢

Bayou needs a foster!

Bayou was rescued off the streets of Daphne a little over a month ago, very malnourished and exhausted of walking…he is heartworm positive & not neutered. He has a treatment plan currently in action for his heartworm treatment that we are raising money throughout his treatment appointments. He returns back in 7 weeks for his next shot.
We are looking for a foster with either small dogs or no pets at all, he does great with all dogs but desperately wants to play with Gypsy (our pit) but he can’t be wired up while going through treatment. He takes 2 pills a day for his heartworms & is prescribed trazodone to keep him calm during the process. He has not been around household cats long enough to know how to act around them & 1 of my cats wants to fight him everytime he sees him so we have to keep him away. Really looking for someone who can provide more time and love out of his kennel and room that he’s been confined in while he goes through his treatment until we can get him neutered and adopted out! I will 100% be in charge of his appointments and such. You’ll just be in charge of showing him what true love is & making sure he’s getting his heartworm pills everyday! 😀 He is extremely sweet, knows basic commands and we’ve been teaching him lots of things as he’s been with us!
You can reach out to me here on my business page if you or you know anyone possibly interested in fostering or fostering to adopt & please share if you come across this, I know there is someone out there searching to make a change in a pets life! Thank you! ❤️

Me and Gypsy got out yesterday for a walk in between my visits. It is no joke that it’s only walk time either early in the morning or when the sun starts to go down! 🥵 Get those babies out earlier or later, get in touch with me if you can’t, I’d love to offer a cooler walk time for your furry friend(s). 😎

Bayou update! 🫶🏻

He had his vet appointment today, we scanned him for a chip first and he didn’t have one, the vet was ok with updating his shots so he’s been fully vaccinated! 🥳 he does have scabies, he’s being treated but he’s going to have to continued to be quarantined for at least another 2 weeks I’m thinking so I’m needing some help!! We need a really good fan or 2 to run out to our building so he can stay cool when it gets really hot out! I had doubts he would be heartworm positive and unfortunately my doubts are real, he showed up strong positive on his test today…luckily he seems very happy and strong for how malnourished he is right now so I truly think he’s got a lot of fight in him. We’re currently on a high protein food 4x a day and trying to hydrate him back up, hopefully he’ll start gaining weight in the near future! 🤞🏻 I wanted to add he bumped noses with another dog at the vet briefly and he was the best boy so I’m having high hopes that him and Gypsy will get along when he’s out of quarantine..we’re still waiting to see how he’s going to do with everyone in the household before we make our decision to keep him or not but for now we will provide the best care for him we can. ❤️

He goes back for his booster shots in 3 weeks, I’ll be getting an estimate on the heartworm treatment to see what we’re looking at!

& please reach out if you’ve got a great fan I can use or even buy off you so we can give him a good quarantine setup! 🙂

Found dog on whispering pines across from Stratford glen, almost got hit by a car so we turned around and got him and he almost got hit again running to me, very very sweet, very very skinny but does have a collar on. We took him home and put him in our backyard, he followed us around everywhere just wanting pets and to take a nap in our lap. We gave him a bath, he did great for it. He’s got a little set up in our building out back but he might dig out overnight if he gets anxious (hopefully not!) we got him 2 little sleeping set ups for the night to make him comfortable and he’s finally gotten comfortable right in front of our back door. I truly think he was dumped or just wasn’t cared for and no one’s looking for him but if someone is looking for him & can give a great medical explanation for how skinny he is then we’d love to get him back to the people missing him and the people he’s missing. (Please excuse our not done makeshift back porch 🤣)

Good afternoon! Our giveaway is still going on but I have realized that if our page is tagged in a private group (neighborhood page,ect.) that we can’t see it! I’ve seen most that I’ve been tagged in from the “what happening here” groups but if it’s a neighborhood group or a group you don’t think I’m in, screenshot it & send it to me so I can make sure I’m counting it! :)

I’ve had a few new clients reach out to me from referrals so thank you all very much! ❤️

Here’s easy links to get added in by just giving us a review!!
