The Hilarious Tale of How Staycation Pet Care Began
Once upon a time, in a land filled with fur and slobber, I discovered my destiny—pet sitting! My earliest memories include a weekend spent with a mama dog and her adorable puppies. My love for animals only grew from that moment on.
Fast forward to today: I’ve shared my life with a parade of furry friends and opened my home to family and friends like a doggy Airbnb. One summer, we had 11 dogs at our house. Yes, I practically turned into the canine version of a reality TV star—“Keeping Up with the Canines.” Spoiler alert: it was chaotic, but also a blast!
While my heart was busy helping animals, I also seem to enjoy juggling a part-time job alongside my normal 8-5 job. Most recently, the spunky Walgreens clerk you spot dancing down the aisles, trying to convince customers that "Yes, you really do need that inflatable unicorn pool float!"
Then came the moment of clarity. My best friend Adam and his amazing wife Maggie went on a trip of a lifetime to Italy. Lucky for me, they asked their favorite pet-sitter (that’s me!) to watch over their little herd of animals. Picture this: me, flinging hay like I’m in an Olympic event, chasing chickens who clearly have a better cardio routine than I do, and spilling water everywhere like a one-woman circus. It hit me—this is what I was meant to do all along!
Now, I’m their go-to pet sitter, and I couldn’t be happier. To give you a taste of my personality and my pet-loving shenanigans, I made a video!
Oh, and a quick shoutout to Mya, our foster dog who stole Adam’s heart faster than I can say “treat.” I’m over the moon to be part of her life.
So, welcome to Staycation Pet Care, where your pets are treated like the rock stars they are—minus the paparazzi!
