Emergencies can happen when we least expect them, and as pet sitters, it’s our job to step in and do whatever it takes to manage the situation with care and urgency. Today, sweet little Finley had a situation that needed immediate attention, and we couldn’t be more grateful to the amazing staff at Animal Medical Clinic in Palm Bay.

They went above and beyond to squeeze Finley into their busy schedule and worked with us and her mom to ensure this precious pup received the best care possible.

We’re happy to share that Finley is now doing well and resting comfortably at home. 💕🐾

A huge thank you to Animal Medical Center for their kindness and professionalism—it means the world to us and our furry clients!

With the rise of diabetes in both cats and dogs, administering insulin has become a common task for pet sitters and caregivers. While this is a critical part of maintaining a pet’s health, it’s also a task that requires careful attention and precision.

Unfortunately, cases like those mentioned in the Pet Poison Hotline’s article—where pets were accidentally given the wrong medication, such as Ozempic instead of insulin—serve as a stark reminder of the importance of paying attention to detail.

Whether you’re a professional pet sitter or simply helping out a friend or family member, here are a few important tips to prevent accidents:
✔️ Double-check labels and dosages before administering any medication.
✔️ Take your time to ensure you’re using the correct syringe or injector.
✔️ Ask questions if you’re unsure about instructions—better safe than sorry!

And pet parents, you can help set your sitter up for success:
🐕 Clearly label all medications with your pet’s name, the medication name, and proper dosage.
🐈 Provide detailed, written instructions, even for sitters you trust.

A little extra care can make all the difference in ensuring your furry loved ones stay safe and healthy. Let’s all do our part to keep our pets happy and thriving! 💕

Imagine coming back from vacation to find your pet has been accidentally given Ozempic rather than insulin by your pet sitter. Find out how this happened to multiple diabetic pets in this month’s edition of Toxin Tails:

Come join us for our December Lure Course! In the spirit of the holidays we will be donating 100% of our proceeds from this event to Lab Rescue of Brevard!

At these events, dogs chase a mechanized plastic lure through a zigzag course, tapping into their natural prey drive. If you’re looking for a fun way to channel your pup’s energy and instincts, the BCDTC Lure Course is the perfect choice!

The cost is $10 for the first run and $5 for each additional run. Equipment provided by Swift Paws.

During the same time we will be hosting our December FitDog community walk ! These walks count for 3 points towards your title goal! The cost is $5 for non members and all of the proceeds will be donated to Lab Rescue of Brevard!

We will also be accepting donation if your dog would not like to participate in the lure course or community walk.

Located at Cocoa Village Riverfront Park

Important Update: Hurricane Milton and Service Availability

Dear Handled with Love Clients and Pet Parents,

As many of you know, Hurricane Milton is heading our way and is currently projected to arrive as a Category 3 or hopefully slightly weaker storm. We are expecting heavy rainfall, strong winds, and the potential for flooding in certain areas. We wanted to keep you informed about how this may impact our services over the next few days.

Effective Immediately:
Due to the approaching storm and for the safety of our staff, we will not be accepting any new requests for pet care services beyond Tuesday, October 8th. This includes drop-ins, dog walks, and overnight stays. Our team will be hunkering down in our homes starting Wednesday, October 9th, to ensure everyone's safety during the adverse weather.

We plan to reassess the situation after the storm passes on Thursday, October 10th and will open up service requests as soon as it is safe to do so. We truly appreciate your understanding and patience during this time.

For any urgent questions or concerns, you can reach us via:

Phone/Text: (321) 345 - 6032
Email: [email protected]

Please stay safe, and make sure you and your pets are well-prepared for the storm! We’ll be keeping you updated as the situation progresses.

Thank you for being part of the Handled with Love family.

Warm Regards,
Ashlie & The Handled with Love Team

Yes!!

We have to wear sooooo many hats! I wouldn’t trade it for the world and it’s also ALOT to manage.

🐾Playing with puppies and kitties all day sure is fun, but we do so much more than that. This is a career. We are small business owners with a passion for pets, and just like any other business, there are many ‘hats’ we wear.

🧢Some of them we don’t always enjoy, so we choose to delegate them, while other roles really connect with our personal mission and values. These are the ones we can dig into and grow as an individual. You do so much behind the scenes and we hope you know it does not go unnoticed.

What’s your favorite role?
