Today was a very hard day in the Pet Sitting business. One of my wonderful Pet Sitter’s on my team and I went to a meet and greet about an hour from our homebase in the mountains through windy back roads. It was a great meet and greet for our future clients but as we left I got a text that said “911”. It was one of my clients who was in a lot of pain and ended up in the hospital about an hour and a half from where we were. So I took my team member home, gave her the key to one of my jobs that I had to go to so she could go for me. Then I zoomed down the highway going a little bit faster than I normally do.

I called my Client who said his dog who comes to our house almost every weekend, was in his SUV, the air conditioner was on and it was very cool inside plus she had a dish of water. I was still very afraid that something would happen and his car would turn off. I got to the hospital and ran inside and asked the front desk person in the ER if they had his key and she said the security officer did so I got the key from him and drove all through the parking lot pretty quickly looking for his car. I finally found it, rushed up to it and looked inside and Daisy was sleeping and yes, she was okay! I returned the key to a security guard and took her to my house. All is well, but talk about a panicked Pet Sitter. She and I got lunch on our way and I had a little cry.🐾🥹❤️

I’m not at all perfect, but my team and I will do what we have to do to help animals!

Thought I would explain the Pet Sitting process to potential clients. When someone reaches out inquiring about having A Pet Sitter come to their home to watch their pets, we get the dates, arrival and departure times, what is exactly needed for the Overnights and then we give them a quote and find a Pet Sitter who is available. My admin person John handles all finances & quotes for me.

We have over 50 people to choose from and I try to curtail it to the needs of the client and animals and match them up with the perfect Sitter for those needs and expectations. It’s good to know specifics as to how long they want someone to be there during the day, if they want check-ins or overnights, if they have special instructions for animals like medications, etc. we do not charge extra for giving medication’s, and we don’t charge extra for more than one dog, cat, etc.. We do charge extra for farms and depending on the responsibility that is needed.

Each pet sitter is paid directly from us after we have retained payment from our clients. If a tip if given, we give it to our pet sitters.

Many of us are experienced with giving subcutaneous fluids and medications. All of the Pet Sitter‘s on the team have specialties and are required to update me as well as the Pet parents with photos and information.

We are more than just Pet Sitters. We are specialists in that field to care for animals and we take it very seriously. Many of us have learned extra skills on farms and have helped in many ways that go beyond what has been asked of us which we are very happy to say we can do.

It’s a big responsibility to take on care of animals as they are so precious and important to us all.

Each Pet Sitter goes on a meet and greet to meet potential clients and ensuring the safety of their pets and what the needs are to make sure they are met. I’ve learned a lot throughout the years of being A Pet Sitter since I’ve been a child and I know what is important and can feel what the animal needs as well. It’s good to have the gift of empathy.

So when you contact us to become your pet sitter, you’re not only getting an amazing experienced Pet Sitter on my team you’re getting me the CEO and I oversee everything.

Please reach out if you would like to discuss further.

We prefer payment be made up front so we don’t have to play accounts receivable after but of course we can work with you too if you need to pay afterwards.

Thank you,
Kristin Moore
Owner & CEO

Getting my friend Luna’s ears checked. One of our amazing pet sitters on our team let me know she was shaking her head a lot and seemed to have pain. So I brought over ear rinse for dogs and dog pain reliever. Then took her to the vet from her home in Romney. Her parents are on a cruise so I asked them to give written permission and credit card info that I showed to the veterinary hospital. Luna has literally hugged me several times and gives great doggy kisses.

Client review of one of our amazing pet sitters from our team…

“Everything was awesome!!! Thank you so much. I do have to give Ashley kudos though as she went above and beyond!!!! She communicated a lot and sent photos which I loved. And yesterday the day we came home she washed the runners that go down our hallway that Abby had apparently Peed on. She wash them mop the floor, unloaded and loaded our dishwasher and made sure the house was clean when we came home. I cannot tell you how much that meant to me she was amazing.”

Dog walking 101: “Tips and suggestions for walking in the extreme weather”

1. Heat and Paws: 🐾
Hot Pavement: Pavement can get extremely hot in direct sunlight, even on relatively mild days. A simple test: if the pavement is too hot for your bare hand to comfortably rest on for 7 seconds, it's too hot for your dog's paws, according to a weather expert.

Avoiding Burns: Opt for grassy areas, dirt trails, or shaded spots to minimize paw burns.
Cooling: If your dog's paws are hot, cool them down with water or a damp cloth.

2. Overheating: 🥵
Signs of Overheating:
Excessive panting, drooling, stumbling, bright red gums, and lethargy are signs your dog is overheating, according to PetMD.

Prevention: 🐕
Limit walk duration, choose cooler times (early morning or late evening), and offer frequent rest stops in the shade. If you hacecto do a midday walk, keep it brief.

Hydration: 💦
Carry water and a bowl for your dog, and offer it frequently.
Cooling Vest (Optional):
Some dogs might benefit from a cooling vest, but avoid clothing that traps heat.

3. Walking a Dog when its midday: 🕛

Short Walks: Keep walks brief, especially during the hottest parts of the day, recommends Stella & Chewy's.
Avoid High-Energy Activities: Don't engage in strenuous activities like running or biking.
Respect: Give your dog ample rest breaks and allow them to set the pace.

Dogs are susceptible to heatstroke, which can be fatal, and it's crucial to take precautions during hot weather. Temperatures above 82°F (28°C) can be dangerous for many dogs, and above 89°F (32°C), most dogs are at risk. Symptoms of overheating include excessive panting, drooling, lethargy, and difficulty breathing.

Here's how to keep your dog safe in the heat:

1. Avoid strenuous activity during peak heat:
Limit outdoor walks and playtime to early morning or late evening when temperatures are cooler.
Be mindful of the pavement temperature; if it's too hot for your hand, it's too hot for your dog's paws.

2. Provide ample shade and water:
Ensure your dog always has access to fresh, cool water.
Consider adding ice to their water during hot days.
Provide shade from the sun using trees, tarps, or umbrellas, but avoid dog houses, which can trap heat.

3. Recognize the signs of overheating:
Excessive panting, drooling, lethargy, and difficulty breathing are signs of heatstroke.
Dark red gums, vomiting, and collapsing can also indicate a problem.
If you notice any of these signs, immediately cool your dog down and seek veterinary care.

4. Cooling methods:
For conscious, healthy dogs, immerse them in cool water or douse them with cool water.
For older or ill dogs, spray them with room temperature water, avoiding their face, and use a fan to circulate air.
Place ice packs wrapped in a towel on their groin and armpits.

5. Never leave your dog unattended in a car:
Even on mild days, temperatures inside a car can quickly become dangerous.
Cars can heat up to fatal temperatures in a short amount of time, according to the RSPCA.
By taking these precautions, you can help ensure your dog stays safe and comfortable during hot weather.

➡️To support your dog's vagus nerve and promote relaxation, you can try practices like letting them sniff, encouraging chewing and licking, establishing predictable routines, providing calm physical contact, and ensuring they have time to rest after exciting activities. Some specific techniques include the "Zen Down" position, where dogs curl up on their side, and using calming aids like wraps or treats during stressful situations.

Here's a more detailed look at how to support your dog's vagus nerve:

1. Understand the Vagus Nerve: The vagus nerve is a crucial part of the parasympathetic nervous system, which helps regulate the body's "rest and digest" response, promoting calmness and reducing stress.

2. Support Calmness Through Activities:
Sniffing: Allow your dog to explore and engage their sense of smell, which can be calming.

Chewing and Licking: These activities release endorphins and can help soothe your dog.

Predictable Routines: Establishing consistent daily schedules helps your dog feel secure and reduces anxiety.
Calm Physical Contact: Gentle petting, scratching, or massage can be soothing.
Rest After Excitement: Allow your dog to decompress and relax after physical activity or stimulating situations.

3. Specific Techniques:
Zen Down:
The Zen Down position, where a dog curls up on their side with both hind legs on the same side, can activate the vagal nervous system and induce calm.

Calming Aids:
Consider using calming vests, like the ThunderShirt, or calming treats (e.g., NaturVet Quiet Moments) during stressful events like vet visits or thunderstorms.
Deep Pressure Therapy:
Wraps or vests that provide gentle, constant pressure can have a calming effect.

4. Training and Behavior:
Mat Training:
Some dog trainers use specific mat training techniques designed to trigger the vagus nerve and promote relaxation.
Touch as Reward:
Instead of treats, some trainers use specific touch points on the dog's body to reward behavior, which can also stimulate the vagus nerve.

5. Important Considerations:
Individual Differences:
Not all dogs respond the same way to these techniques, so it's important to find what works best for your individual dog.
Professional Guidance:
If your dog is experiencing significant anxiety or stress, consult with a veterinarian or certified professional dog trainer for personalized advice and support.

Underlying Issues:
Address any underlying medical conditions or behavioral issues that may be contributing to your dog's stress.
