🐶❤️ Captain Billy is officially part of the NOFD family!

The 2-year-old crisis response dog was welcomed with a special “Passing of the Leash” ceremony and a heartfelt blessing by fire department chaplain Rev. Joshua Holder.

Trained to support mental health and trauma recovery, Captain Billy will work alongside New Orleans firefighters thanks to the nonprofit Thin Line Service Dogs.

Let’s give this good (BEST) boy a big NOLA welcome 👏

Why should you choose a Professional Pet Sitter?!

Are you looking for a pet sitter or dog walker?

📃PSI offers these tips to help make sure you are choosing a PROFESSIONAL pet-care provider that is a great fit for you and your pets:

1️⃣ Be specific about your needs. 👉Professional pet sitters and dog walkers typically offer a variety of service options, so specify your needs up front, whether those include daily dog walks, visits to administer medication, enrichment activities for your cat, potty breaks for a new puppy, or occasional visits due to a hybrid-work schedule.

2️⃣ Prioritize quality. 👉Pet parents should not let click-and-select convenience of online sites overshadow the importance of doing their due diligence when selecting a pet sitter. Any pet lover can post their services online for a cheap price, but professional pet-care providers will have the training, credentials and insurance coverage needed to provide excellent pet care and protect clients and their homes.

3️⃣ Meet the sitter in person. 👉PSI always recommends pet parents schedule an initial consultation or “meet and greet” at their home—with pets present—before booking pet-care services. This allows the pet parent to meet the pet sitter, review their policies and credentials, and make sure they are the best fit for their family.

4️⃣ Ask the right questions. 👉Pet parents can download a free pet-sitter interview checklist from PSI at www.petsit.com/locate. This checklist includes seven important questions you should ask any pet sitter or dog walker you are considering hiring.

Grab your life jacket and enjoy some fun in the sun! Wearing a life jacket when you’re in, on, or near open water (lakes, rivers, ponds, etc.) will help ensure that you have a great summer.
