Are you going away for the Labor Day Weekend? Relying on a pet sitter?

Exactly! My walks are tailored for the dog's benefit, not mine. 😍

Sniffing is calming! A nice long walk with loads of sniffs will calm your dog more than lots of crazy running and playing with other dogs on a regular basis. Calm is grrr8! ☺️

Important information on how to find a great pet sitter!

Last year, just four days before my mother was scheduled to leave for a two-week Mediterranean cruise, the pet sitter she’d hired four months earlier dropped a bombshell. “I’m not comfortable watching Sabrina,” the woman announced in a curt phone call, adding that she thought the dog was agg...

This memory came up as I was sitting here with some kitty clients in Bend, Oregon.

So great to be pet sitting again!

Absolutely!

As any pro pet sitter or dog walker will tell you, running a pet-care business is no joke!

➡Here at PSI, we always say that pet sitting isn’t for the faint of heart—and on a day that typically focuses on jokes, we want to stop and thank professional pet sitters and dog walkers for the serious work they do!

For any who have ever wondered, “Is pet sitting (or dog walking) a real job?” The answer is ABSOLUTELY.✔

👉Professional pet sitters and dog walkers are small-business owners—vital contributors to their communities and local economy.

👉They have a business license (where required), pay taxes, are insured, bonded, and trained in pet care and pet first aid.

👉They work year-round to ensure pet parents can have the peace of mind offered by quality, reliable pet care when long work hours or travel keep them from their beloved pets.

Being a professional pet-sitting or dog-walking business owner is more than dog walks and cat cuddles.

👉Ask any professional pet sitter who has missed holidays with their families, extended pet-sitting visits to ensure an ailing pet was comforted or felt the loss of a client’s pet passing.

👉Or better yet, ask one of the hundreds of thousands of pet parents who benefit from the services of professional pet sitters and dog walkers every year.

👉Ask the pet owner who was alerted by his professional pet sitter that his dog’s behavior was unusual and recommended an emergency vet visit—saving the dog from dying from canine bloat.

👉Ask the pet parent who was able to call her pet sitter at 2 a.m. when she learns that her mother—on the other side of the country—has been admitted to the hospital in critical condition and is able to secure pet care as she rushes to the airport.

👉Ask the family whose professional pet sitter has graciously agreed to sit with them as their 15-year-old cat with late-stage chronic renal failure has to be euthanized.

Spend a day with a pro pet sitter or dog walker and you’ll know what those of us at PSI know without question:

♥Pet sitting is no joke! It’s a career…a lifestyle…a passion.♥

THANK YOU to the pet sitters and dog walkers making the world a better place for pets and their people!

Canine Enrichment: Rethinking enrichment concepts to improve outcomes in shelters

This is going to be a very informative webinar and will benefit those of us who love cats, including cat owners, pet sitters, shelter workers, TNR volunteers, missing recovery specialists, and veterinary staff. There's no charge, so join me if you can!

Join us on Tuesday, Dec. 7, at 8 pm Eastern for “Helping Our Feline Friends Feel Fear Free,” a webinar with Tony Buffington, DVM, PhD Clinical Professor UC Davis School of Veterinary Medicine.

He will remind participants "who cats are" and why they are particularly prone to fear in confined situations (i.e., hospitals, shelters, homes, etc.)

After defining fear and stress in cats, Dr. Buffington will explain what people can do to minimize their fear, particularly in caged contexts. This will include how to enrich the cat's surroundings, both inside and outside of the cage, recognize both red and green flags by "asking" the cat. Resources for training staff and where to learn more about effective environmental enrichment for cats will also be provided.

After this presentation, attendees will be able to:

1. Recognize fear in confined cats
2. Identify threats that may be causing the fear response
3. Reduce fear by making changes in the cat's environment

Can you think of any common noises in your home that may be causing stress to your animals?

UC Davis researchers have found that common household noises may be making dogs anxious. Owners may be underestimating their dog's stress.
