On Sunday, it will be exactly ten years since Paws On The Move started, so it was only fitting that I will wrap things up on the same date. It proved difficult to sell the business, but I am resolved in the fact that I have put my heart and soul into this little venture. Anyone who has worked in the pet industry knows that you don’t do this for the money but for the endorphins that you are blessed to enjoy on a daily basis in the form of four furry paws 🐾🐾 There has been no greater joy than watching a dog’s tongue hanging out after a big run, or having a dog finally come out of their shell to let you pat them, or a cat purring loudly after scratching their neck, or a rabbit happily chomping on some greens while staring at you, or birds singing as soon as you get close to their cage, or two donkeys that “ee-orrr” as soon as they see your car pulling up. So many incredible memories that will last a lifetime.
Thank you to my four employees that have assisted me since 2017 - Hannah, Dione, Julia and Jodie. Also a huge thank you to my family that have been extremely patient with me when I’ve had to run out on Christmas Day lunch or dinner to go feed a pet, or to rescue a dog that has got himself stuck between the gate posts, or to help me climb over a fence because the front door key doesn’t work, or to visit a dog at midnight because you know they’re terrified of thunder, or to deal with police because your client’s home was broken into. I must admit this job was never boring!!
But the biggest thank you goes to my incredible clients who have trusted me (and my employees) with their precious pets, you have all been wonderful to deal with and have basically become family to me.
I’ll put up one more post before officially closing. Till then, feel free to scroll through all the photos over the years by clicking on the business profile, and enjoy!
