Hurricane Helene: “How Can I Help?”

From the Gulf Coast to the Appalachian Mountains, Hurricane Helene changed the southeast one week ago. Starting in the big bend of Florida and trailing up into the Carolinas- people lost power, homes, pets, familiar scenery, historic buildings/landmarks, and far too many people lost loved ones or their own lives.

Most people immediately react with, “How can I help?” even if they’re unsure if they have the time, money, or resources to do so. I understand that feeling, and wanted to share some tips on how you can make an impact. If thousands of people think to themselves, “But I’m just one person…” then imagine how much good we can do with each and every one person’s help.

1. Share posts you see where people affected by the crisis are asking for specific help, or the posts where people offering help are trying to get the word out. This takes less than 10 seconds from your day, and helps get coverage out far and wide. Do not share fear-inducing or politically-focused content. That is not productive to helping the people in need.

2. Donate physical goods or money. Not everyone is going to be able to drop everything and head to these areas to volunteer and hug necks. If you have the means to find a donation collection in your area, spend some time this weekend gathering some items on their list and do a quick drop-off. If you can’t find a donation drive but want to contribute, there are MANY fantastic relief organizations that could use monetary support. I will comment a few organizations that I have seen save the lives of people close to me who lived through a natural disaster. Please feel free to recommend some resources as well.

3. Think of the pets. The Humane Society of the United States recommends either fostering pets directly from families in these impacted areas, or foster from your local shelter in order to open up spots for more animals. If you can’t foster, considering donating money, pet supplies, or pet food.

4. Continue praying, sending positive thoughts, and checking on those around you who may have been impacted in some way. For Florida residents who were not immediately affected, the pain is still very real and close to home. Check on your friends and family- just to see how they’re doing so they don’t feel alone. A crisis like this brings on physical and mental damage. People will express trauma from this past week and the days to come in many different ways, so please be a kind listener and do not cast judgement. Do not take attention away from the communities that need help.

***For my Birmingham locals, Sloss Furnace is collecting items today (10/04/2024) and tomorrow (10/05/2024) to be transported out next week. Stop by their guest services table at the main entrance if you have items to donate.***

🗓️December 1-11 are are ONLY days I have available for the rest of 2024! If you’re looking for some time away from home during those dates, please let me know asap!🗓️

Thank you all for such a wonderful, amazing, busy year of loving on your pets.

Also, if you know someone reliable who would be interested in helping out from time to time with pet sitting, definitely let me know! There’s nothing I hate more than turning y’all away, but I just can’t be in two places at once (and I’ve tried 😂).

A quick reintroduction:

Hi! My name is Courtney and I am here to love your pets 🥰 It came to my attention recently that my actual name wasn’t shown on my business account, so I just wanted to say hey to all the new people who have popped in! Some things about me:

I have a slight (major) obsession with Grey’s Anatomy, so your pets will probably be board certified surgeons after a couple of days with me! (Photo to support this)

My phone has more pictures of other people’s pets than anything else- and I’m totally okay with that.

I think traveling is one of the best ways to enrich your life, so I fully support you booking that trip! I’ve got the pets ❤️

My reactions when I realized Sit & Stay Pet Services has helped TWENTY families go live their best lives over the past year and a half! This is a huge milestone as a small business that has grown solely by word of mouth. I can’t thank you all enough for your trust, support, and referrals!

Happy Summer 💛🐾🩷

It’s okay to be honest… are you a workaholic or a couch potato? Sometimes, we all have moments where we can be both!

Sit & Stay Pet Services is happy to cuddle up with your furry friends or take them on their daily walks. Whatever works for them works for us!

When you filled your pet’s bowl with water this morning, did you drink a glass too? Taking care of our furry ones is important, but don’t forget to take care of yourself! Starting your morning with a glass of water can help wake you up, boost your metabolism, and set you up for success.

💡Sit & Stay Saturday: How to Book a Pet Sitter🗓

Planning a trip can come with what feels like a never-ending checklist of items to make sure are in place before you go. Finding a pet sitter should not add to that headache!

Sit & Stay Pet Services has some tips for booking a pet sitter with ease.

1. Plan ahead - reach out to your sitter with specific details as soon as possible before your trip. There is no such thing as having your fur babies covered too far in advance! We get that spontaneous trips or emergencies happen, too, so it’s always good to keep a sitter’s number on hand.

2. Meet your sitter - if you’re booking with someone for the first time, it may make both parties feel more comfortable to have a face and voice to the name. Inviting your sitter to meet you and your pets ahead of time is a good way for everyone to feel happy about the situation. You should feel confident in having someone in your home, and your sitter should feel comfortable and safe. As a bonus, your pets will love to sniff out their new friend!

3. Prepare your sitter - if your pets have special needs or strict routines, it’s helpful to write everything down for your sitter to reference. A shared notes page, a text, or a piece of paper on the counter will help your sitter keep your pets as happy as possible. It’s helpful to include things like where the treats are stored, how to access the Wi-Fi, and what times feeding/walking should be.
