Hello everyone! Now, don't panic, this doesn't mean you are without a pet sitter. All bookings that I already have scheduled will remain booked. If you would like to find someone else before your booking, just let me know and I totally understand. I hope to find a full-time job within the pet industry as I love providing services to pets and their owners.
My pet-sitting will continue, I will just be lessening my load, a lot. The number of days per month I am willing to pet sit will decrease (so I can be home with my fur children and sleep in my own bed ;). I will be prioritizing longer stays as well as, unfortunately, higher-paying stays (more animals, harder care, etc.) Since I won't have to rely on pet-sitting to pay my bills, I can be much more flexible with the bookings I accept. Weekend sitting will stay the same since most of the jobs I am looking at are Monday-Friday.
Along with this, the amount of time each day I am able to be with your pet will change as well. Having a full-time job means I will be there in the morning, stop by on my lunch break, and be there after work and overnight again. They will have to be able to be alone 4-8 hours, twice a day, as if you were going to work yourself. If this is something that you are not comfortable with, please let me know. I understand it will be a big change and if your pets need someone with more time to be home, I get it! If you have an upcoming stay booked and these requirements won't work for your pets, please reach out to me so we can communicate! Some of you have been my clients before when I did have a full-time job, and may not have even realized I was only pet-sitting, so for you, nothing will be different!
I hope everyone can be supportive during this time, this is another big change in my life and it is not a decision made easily. When I do get a full-time job, I will definitely update you all going forward. If you have any questions, comments, concerns, please feel free to reach out to me on here or via text.
Love you, and give your pets a big hug from me
