Do you have plans for the holidays? We have openings!

♡ 2 openings for Thanksgiving (Travis can take care of one family of pets at our home and Shasta has an opening for a house sitting job)

♡ 2 spots available for Christmas (Travis can take care of one family of pets at our home and Shasta has an opening for a house sitting job)

♡ 1 spot available for New Years (Shasta has an opening for a house sitting job. We are full for in-home care)

◇◇ Please remember....when we book jobs over the holidays, we do have family holiday get togethers (typically just Thanksgiving day and Christmas day). If your pet(s) cannot be left alone for a length of time that would allow us to spend the holidays with our family...we may not be the right fit for you.

This is going to be long but please bear with us and read until the end....

To our valued pet sitting clients:

Travis and I have done a lot of soul searching recently. We have decided that beginning next year - we will be drastically reducing the amount of pet sitting jobs we accept. We love you all and will never discontinue our services completely. But the fact of the matter is...we both have FT jobs outside of pet sitting. We also have our own aging dogs that we want to be able to spend as many precious moments with as possible.

What this means for you:

🐶We we will not take on more than one pet sitting job (outside of our home) at a time. This will allow at least one of us to be home with our own dogs at all times and will alleviate the stress it puts on my mom having to help us so much.
🐱We will be limiting the number of boarding dogs we have at our home to a maximum of 4 at any given time.
🐶We are going to attempt to limit the time pet sitting outside of our home to two weeks each month. This will be more difficult because we do have clients that go on longer vacations and that is ok. We will still do those longer jobs, as needed.
🐱Effective immediately, we will no longer be accepting new clients. We appreciate the word of mouth SO much, but we want to ensure that we have room for YOUR boarding/sitting needs, and we can't do that if we are overloaded with new clients.
🐶Please know that we schedule appointments, gym time, family time, etc. for our days off. This means that there may be times where we will have to leave for a little while (usually an hour or two). We do our best to schedule these around the needs of the pet(s), but we are no longer able to take on jobs that don't allow some flexibility with that. This also includes holiday events - Thanksgiving dinner, Christmas gatherings, etc.
🐱Book your stay early! We are already booking in to next year!
🐶If you already have a reservation with us, it is safe! We will honor all commitments we already have scheduled.
🐱We are continually told that our prices are too low for the quality of care that we offer so we may be re-evaluating our prices at the beginning of the year. All reservations currently booked are grandfathered in to our current rates. This includes our holiday rate increasing on January 1st. We will communicate these new rates ahead of time.

Just to add a little perspective....
I have spent 126 days away from home since January 1st. That is 60% of the year so far.

I LOVE what we do. I know how hard it is to find somebody that you can trust with your animals and I am SO happy that we get to be that for people. It is just time to try to prioritize our family and self care for a little bit. We may ramp back up in the future....we just need to take a little bit of a break.

We truly appreciate each and every one of you for trusting us with your pets care and we look forward to continue working with you all! 🧡💚💙💛

To some people, pet sitting is just a job. To us, your pet becomes part of our family. We treat your pet like they are our own. We love them like they are our own. The hardest part of the "job" is when one of our families loses a pet. It feels like we lose a little piece of our heart each time. This week, Miss Ellie crossed over the rainbow bridge. Ellie was unable to use her hind legs but that didn't, even for a second, dampen her spirits. Now, she is able to run free with the use of all four legs. She was the goodest girl and will be greatly missed. ❤💔🌈

We've had the pleasure of watching Bodie for a week, out in Elk. It has definitely been an adventure!

12/24 (our first morning) - woke up to several piles of vomit because the previous morning he'd gotten into scraps that his mom and dad threw out for the wildlife. There were big chunks of onion in his vomit so the Vet Med professional in me panicked. But he is 100% okay!

12/25 - woke up and found that one of the pipes downstairs had burst. Trav and the owners' emergency contact worked together to get it fixed up enough until the owners are home.

12/26 - woke up to no power. Power came back on around 10:30am.

Other than that, we've spent the time hanging out with Bodie, playing board games (and me kicking Travis' butt in Yahtzee...multiple times. He did annihilate me in Scrabble once though), and watching the wildlife roaming around the house.

❤❤❤

Happy Thanksgiving! Tonight, I'm watching this sweet boy, Angus!

We always let our dogs (and the dogs we are watching) sleep in bed with us! If you have a specific routine you'd like us to stick to (sleeping in crate, etc), we can do that too!

My husband, and I, have been pet/house sitting for many years so I decided to create a business page where I can post photos/videos, pricing updates, etc.

If we have ever watched your pets, please consider taking a moment to leave us a review on our NEW page!
