Hey there, pet parents! Today's National Holistic Pet Day, and we’re feeling all the warm and fuzzy vibes for our animal friends. Let's talk about how we can give them the best possible care.
A holistic approach to pet care means considering their whole being – mind, body, and spirit. Here are a few tips to get you started:
🥘 Nourish their bodies: Opt for high-quality, natural pet food and avoid processed treats.
🐾 Keep them moving: Regular exercise is essential for physical and mental health.
🧠 Stimulate their minds: Try puzzle toys, training sessions, and new activities to keep their brains engaged.
🌳 Connect with nature: Spending time outdoors can reduce stress and boost overall well-being.
🌿 Consider natural remedies: Explore holistic options like acupuncture, herbal supplements, or aromatherapy for specific health concerns.
Let's celebrate the importance of holistic pet care and share tips and experiences in the comments. Tag a fellow pet lover!🐾❤️
Meet the team!

Introducing Jacquelynn!
*
I have been an animal lover since day one. Be it stuffed animals, furry and scaly friends, and even the virtual pets, (Yes, I was a tamagotchi kid.) I have a huge soft spot for taking care of people and critters. I volunteered at different veterinary offices as a teenager, horse stables as an adult, and was even able to do a bit of riding when I was younger. Being given an opportunity to work with animals on a daily basis is such a dream for me! As a child I wanted to be a veterinarian, that didn't pan out but I've had so many opportunities to show love to creatures of all kinds! I have my own two rescued fur babies that I love very much, and look forward to providing excellent care for all of the amazing critters that I will get to meet in this career!

Hey there, dog lovers! 🐶 Today's a special day – it's National Dog Day! 🎉 Let's celebrate all the amazing pups out there, from the fluffy little ones to the big, goofy ones.
We're so lucky to have these furry friends in our lives. They bring us joy, comfort, and even save lives. Let's show them some love by sharing your favorite dog stories, posting pics of your pups, or tagging a dog lover you know.

Let's talk about something that drives us crazy in the pet sitting industry: the three 30 minute visit per day standard for dogs. ❌
We want to invite you to think about how much time you spend at home. And how often you interact with your dogs. Now imagine that you are leaving for a week long vacation. You have brought in a loving professional to care for your furry friend! Three visits per day at 30 minutes is an hour and a half per day. An HOUR AND A HALF! 😳 After regular care duties, it doesn’t leave a lot of time for play time, enrichment, and love. 😔
We personally think that dogs deserve much more. That’s why we updated our services several years ago and no longer provide drop in dog care unless it is paired with overnights.🐶🛏️
What do you think? Let's chat!
From a little girl with a big heart for animals to the proud owner of Four Seasons For Paws, it's been quite a journey! 🐾❤️
I've always had a special connection with animals, and I knew I wanted to build a career around my passion. After years of exploring different paths, a vacation mishap sparked a lightbulb moment. A much needed rest and recharge was in my grasp, but almost lost because the family friend I was counting on to care for my furbabies had suddenly backed out. At the time, I had three dogs and a cat. (That’s me, Brandy and my Old Lady Beans in the picture) While it did work out in the end, I realized there was a huge need for reliable pet care, and Four Seasons For Paws was born! 💡
Starting my own business wasn't without its challenges. For the first several years, it was only me. I provided every service, created processes from scratch, built a website, learned how to advertise and market, and learned that I couldn’t help everyone (even if I wanted to). I have since learned how to hire incredible team members, how to lead, and how to pivot when things don’t go quite as planned… 🤣 Every day is an adventure. Some days are wonderful! And some days I just break down and cry. But the love and support from my amazing team and clients have truly made it all worthwhile. ❤️

It is so hard for a dog to not follow his heart! ❤️ 🎾 🐾

Cat life is so much work! 😹
💔 This month is all about finding forever homes for shelter animals. And it is no secret that our local shelters are at capacity. Have you seen their pleas for volunteers, adopters, and fosters? 🙏🏻
Adopting a shelter pet is one of the most rewarding experiences. You're not just saving a life, you're gaining a loyal companion. ❤️
If you're considering adding a furry friend to your family, please visit a shelter near you. There are so many amazing animals waiting for their chance to shine. ✨
🐶 Do you have a dog who just isn’t a fan of car rides to the groomer? Or maybe you just don’t have time to take them? It’s more common than you think! And you’re in luck! Because there is a professional mobile grooming service that will come straight to your door!
Matching pet parents with pet care providers who are a perfect fit for their needs is one of my passions! (That’s me on the left! Brandy, the owner of Four Seasons For Paws) And I had the pleasure of meeting Jessica, the owner of Dogs of the Glen Grooming. She is not only a certified groomer who is phenomenal at her her craft. She is a beautiful soul who delivers every personalized service with a smile. So now she is high on my must recommend list. ☺️
So if you need a mobile groomer check out, https://dogsoftheglen.square.site! You can find her service area and all services provided there. 🐕
Worth it!!! 🥶
It's National Check the Chip Day! 🐶🐱
A microchip is your pet's ticket home! 🏠 This day is a perfect opportunity to remind all the amazing pet parents out there to double check that your furry friend is protected! Review and update your pet’s microchip information today. A few minutes can make all the difference if they ever get lost. 🫶🏻
And on that note- Do you keep a photo of you and your pet, their microchip number, and a copy of their rabies vaccination certificate in an emergency kit? Natural disasters and other emergencies can separate you from your pets. In these situations, having those items together and easily accessible may be the key to reuniting you with your best friend. 🥰
Help spread the word! Tag a friend who's a pet parent to remind them to check their pet's chip too. 🔖
Hey there, I'm Jes. I'm not one to brag but when it comes to my job I boast. It's not hard to hold back how much I enjoy what I do at Four Seasons for Paws. The Stars aligned and Brandy hired me how about 3 years ago. She has recently honored me with a promotion to the management team. I've been on cloud nine since starting my caregiver job. I've made so friends! Mostly furry but a few people too. Its been truly amazing.
The greenhouse world has been my nich for over 20 years. That being said I found a passion working with animals. I love making a difference in our clients day, both people and pets. No offense, but it's the pets I'm trying to please the most! That doesn't stop when I punch out. I'm a caregiver at heart, even while growing up. Our home is a certified Wildlife habitat. I strive to provide a safe, comfortable, and happy life for the critters around me. Our Gardens are crazy and full of life. You can never have too many plants, but you can run out of space.
My husband and I have been together for 14 years. We're passionate about giving back and making a positive difference. Friends and family are very important to us. We try to travel as much as we can, however they're never seems to be enough time. We lost our fur baby Tink last year. I had her for 18 years. Your pets really helped me through that difficult time. We have since adopted Hamlet are 20 lb tuxedo cat. His sister Twiggy taco chose us from the backyard. We are fostering Mimosa (Memo) for FOR THE LOVE OF CATS. A local rescue. We also have a neighborhood stray named Two Sox that likes to hang around.
If you haven't guessed, I'm the long-winded Journal writer. I love painting scenes with words. I could take pictures of pets and nature all day! Some days I do, and get paid for it! Life is full of curious things to explore. I see art in everything and want to share it. I always look forward to my work day. It's a guaranteed smile. Even on days when getting up is hard. I get a fur Mama love Rush as soon as I think about my buddies and the adventures to come. I'm a lucky woman, and I know it. Thanks for reading.
Back-to-school season is almost here! 🎒 While we're excited for the new school year, let's remember that this transition can be tough for our furry friends. After a summer of constant companionship, they might find themselves alone more often. 🐶🐱
To help your pet adjust, try to maintain a consistent schedule as much as possible and provide plenty of mental and physical stimulation with interactive toys. Playing classical music can also help set your pet at ease while they are at home alone. 🎶

🐾 Declawing is a practice that should be avoided at all costs! Here are some important reasons why you should never declaw your beloved feline friends: 1️⃣ It causes immense pain: Declawing is not a simple nail trim; it involves the amputation of the last bone of each toe. This painful procedure can lead to long-lasting physical and emotional trauma for your furry companion. 2️⃣ It hinders natural behavior: Cats use their claws for various purposes, including climbing, stretching, and self-defense. Declawing deprives them of their natural instincts and abilities, affecting their overall well-being. 3️⃣ It can lead to behavioral issues: Cats that have been declawed may develop behavioral problems like biting or avoiding the litter box. This is because they are in constant discomfort and may become fearful or aggressive as a result. 4️⃣ It alters their balance and coordination: Claws play a vital role in a cat's balance and coordination. Declawed cats may struggle to maintain their stability, leading to difficulty in walking or jumping. 5️⃣ There are humane alternatives: Instead of declawing, there are humane alternatives available to protect your furniture and keep your cat happy. Regular nail trims, scratching posts, and soft nail caps are effective ways to prevent damage without causing harm. Remember, our furry friends rely on their claws for many essential aspects of their lives. By avoiding declawing, we can ensure that they live a pain-free and fulfilling life. Let's prioritize their well-being and embrace them just the way they are! 🐱💕 Please share this post with your friends and family! This information could help so many of our feline friends. ♥️
🌸🐾 Spring has sprung, pet parents, and we're jumping for joy! 🌼🌷 The first day of this blooming season is here, bringing with it a sense of renewal and the promise of warmer days ahead. Let's celebrate the arrival of spring with our beloved pets by our side! 🌞🐶 As the weather gets milder, our furry pals can't wait to stretch their paws and explore the great outdoors. Longer walks, playful romps in the park, and endless tail wags await them! 🌳🐾 But as we embrace this change of seasons, it's important to keep our pets' well-being in mind. Here are a few tips to ensure they stay happy and healthy during this transition: 1️⃣ Shedding Season: With spring comes shedding season! Help your pets by brushing them regularly to remove loose fur and prevent matting. 2️⃣ Allergy Awareness: Just like humans, pets can also experience allergies. Keep an eye out for signs of itching, sneezing, or watery eyes. Consult your vet if you notice any unusual symptoms. 3️⃣ Flea and Tick Prevention: Warmer weather means these pesky critters come out to play. Make sure your pets are up-to-date on their flea and tick prevention treatments. 4️⃣ Spring Cleaning Safety: While you're sprucing up your space, be mindful of cleaning products that can be harmful to pets. Keep them in a safe place and opt for pet-friendly alternatives whenever possible. 🗣️ Now, we want to hear from you! Share your pet's springtime adventures in the comments! Whether it's basking in the sun, chasing butterflies, or simply enjoying the fresh air, we can't wait to see their joyful moments! 🌼📸🐾
🐱 💊 In this behind-the-scenes post, our very own Mandy will demonstrate how to safely and gently pill a cat! Mia was the purrfect kitty assistant. We believe in making every experience as stress-free and comfortable as possible for our furry friends. Here's our secret to pilling your cat with kindness: 1️⃣ Create a Calm Environment: Find a quiet and familiar space where your cat feels relaxed. It could be their favorite spot or a cozy corner in your home. 2️⃣ Be Prepared: Gather all the necessary supplies before you start, including the pill, some tasty treats, and a towel or blanket (if necessary). 3️⃣ Positive Reinforcement: Before attempting to pill your cat, spend a few minutes showering them with love and affection. This helps create a positive association with the overall experience. 4️⃣ Approach with Care: Wrap your cat in a blanket or towel if needed. Hold the pill between your thumb and index finger, making sure it's positioned correctly. With your other hand, gently tilt your cat's head backward, exposing their mouth. 5️⃣ Swift and Gentle: Using your index finger, press down on the lower jaw to open your cat's mouth. Place the pill as far back on their tongue as possible, ensuring they swallow it properly. 6️⃣ Massage for Comfort: After giving the pill, gently massage your cat's throat in a downward motion. This helps stimulate swallowing and ensures the pill goes down smoothly. 7️⃣ Reward and Reassure: As soon as the pill is swallowed, offer your cat a delicious treat and shower them with praise. This helps create a positive association with the pilling process. Remember, not all cats require wrapping in a towel or blanket. If your cat is calm and cooperative, you may skip this step. However, if your cat tends to be more resistant or anxious, gently wrapping them in a soft towel or blanket can provide a sense of security. If you find the pilling process too challenging or your cat becomes too stressed, it's b

🎉🐾 Hi pet parents! Can you believe it's already a new year? 🎉✨ Just like when we accidentally write the wrong year on the date for the next 11 months, our furry friends also need time to adjust to changes. 🐶💕 Let's talk about how we can help our pets adjust to new things and make this transition smoother for them. 🐾🌟 1️⃣ Take it slow: Whether it's a new family member, a change in living arrangements, or a new pet sibling, introduce these changes gradually. Give your pet time to adjust and show them lots of love and reassurance along the way. 2️⃣ Stick to a routine: Consistency is key! Try to keep their feeding, exercise, and playtime schedules as consistent as possible, even with other changes happening in your life. 3️⃣ Create a safe space: Give your pet a cozy corner with their bed, toys, and familiar scents. This will be their go-to spot when they need some alone time or feel overwhelmed. 4️⃣ Keep them entertained: Engage your pets in mentally stimulating activities like puzzle toys or interactive play sessions. It helps redirect their focus and keeps their minds occupied during times of change. 5️⃣ Be patient and loving: Change takes time for everyone, including our furry pals. Show them patience, understanding, and extra love during this adjustment period. Your presence and reassurance mean the world to them. Let's make this year a time of positive changes and smooth transitions for our pets too! 🐾❤️ Share your tips and experiences in the comments below, and let's support each other in helping our furry companions adjust to new things. Together, we can make this year fantastic for our beloved pets! 🎉🐶

Want your business to be the top-listed Pet Store/pet Service?
For as long as I can remember, I have loved all animals. Every shape and size! From the chipmunks in the yard to the giraffes in the grasslands. Every creature has always held a special place in my heart. As a young lady, it was my passion to care for and save as many animals as I could. I remember bringing home all kinds of surprise pets! (My parents really love me...) Some became members of the family, and some went to good homes. I always made sure that I did everything in my power to ensure a great life for all animals who crossed my path.
When I entered the workforce, I had one mission. It was to be the best I could be at any position that I was granted. I worked in retail, factories, and restaurants. I progressed in each industry, but it seemed that something was always missing. Vacations seemed to be the only time I could experience true happiness.
The vacation that I took in 2014 changed my life forever... I was getting ready to head out for a two week vacation and all was well! Except that a few days before I left, my pet care arrangements fell through. I was in a panic! Who would look after my babies on such short notice? Luckily I have an amazing sister and she cared for my pets while I was away. When I returned from that vacation I remember thinking about going back to work. And how I wasn't exactly overjoyed to go... Then it hit me!! I could do something that would be very much needed and it would be fulfilling... I could be that trustworthy someone to provide amazing care for pets while their owners were at work or out of town! One year later, Four Seasons For Paws came into the world.
Before Four Seasons For Paws could become a reality, I knew that there were many things I needed to know. I immersed myself in books and articles about pet behavior. I took courses about training dogs and evaluating body language. And for the safety of all in my care, I became certified in pet First Aid and CPR. I continue to learn from other pet care professionals in the area. Getting to know the amazing pet care professionals at veterinarian offices, grooming facilities, rescues, supply stores, and other pet sitting companies has brought me so much joy and knowledge. We are all working together to give the pets in our community the healthy, happy lives they deserve!
Providing excellent pet care and peace of mind for their people is my new, heart felt mission in life! I have the opportunity to combine my love for animals and my drive to succeed all in one caring little pet care company! In the last two years, I have been building a team of like-minded, passionate, and professional pet care providers. Having a team has enabled me to expand my dream in the community. Together, our mission is to provide trustworthy, dependable, loving care to our client’s companion animals - in the comfort of their home. We will always strive to go above and beyond our client’s expectations and to become their pet’s second best friend! We love what we do! And we can't wait to meet you and your fur-babies!
