HAPPY INTERNATIONAL DOG DAY!
I’m a day late, but that’s because I’ve been busy caring for all your furbabies! 🐶
On this day, I couldn't help but reflect on the journey that brought me here and my beloved Sky, who passed away in 2021. Sky was more than just a dog; she was my best friend, my heart and soul—my "heart dog," as they say. 🩷
She is the inspiration behind Coastal Pet Care. Six years ago, I started this business with the goal of providing the level of care that I always wanted for her.
Sky had anxiety and some special needs, which made it incredibly difficult for me to find someone I could trust with her care. I was unable to travel for several years because I couldn’t find the peace of mind I needed to leave her in someone else’s hands. The dedication I had to her is what I bring to each of your pets every day, ensuring that you can be away from home confidently, knowing they are loved and cared for just as deeply as I cared for her. The meaning behind my slogan, “Pet Care Fur Your Peace of Mind.”
Through caring for Sky, I learned how important personalized and compassionate pet care truly is. Every dog is unique, and I understand that some animals need more love and reassurance before they can trust someone new in their home. That’s why I believe in slow introductions, multiple meet and greets, positive reinforcement, and practicing patience. My goal is to provide the same level of personalized care for each pet in our care as I did for Sky.
Over the last six years, I’ve cared for countless pets, each one leaving a unique pawprint on my heart. I’ve shared the heartache with you as some of your beloved companions crossed the rainbow bridge—they will forever hold a special place in my heart. I’ve also had the pleasure of joining in the excitement as you welcomed new puppies and rescues into your families.
On International Dog Day and every day, I’m thinking of my girl Sky, as well as all of your beloved dogs that have grown to feel like my own. Thank you to all my wonderful clients for trusting me to care for your precious pets.
