You may have noticed I’ve been a little quieter on Facebook and other socials over the last couple of weeks. 💜
Usually, that’s because I’m busy caring for my wonderful clients pets. But this time, if I’m honest, it’s because I needed a little time to process everything that had happened.
The last few weeks have been some of the most emotional I’ve experienced since starting Odi Bear Pet Care.
Sadly, I experienced the loss of two dogs who had been part of my pet sitting journey. One was a dog I had cared for previously and the other was a dog I had cared for twice a week since September. The loss of the second dog was especially heartbreaking, as we had built such a special bond.
I also experienced my very first emergency trip to the vets with a pet in my care. Thankfully, after treatment, they were ok, but it was a reminder of just how much responsibility comes with looking after someone’s precious family member.
Looking back, I’m proud of how I handled such a stressful situation. I stayed calm, followed the owner’s instructions and made sure they received the care they needed.
Losing pets is the part of this job that nobody really prepares you for. Every pet I care for means something to me, whether I’ve known them for one visit or many months. They each leave their own little paw print on my heart.💗🐾
These experiences reminded me that caring deeply isn’t a weakness - it’s one of my strengths and one of the reasons I do what I do.
So if I’ve been a little quieter than usual, thank you for your patience. My priority will always be making sure the pets in my care receive the love, attention and support they deserve, while also remembering to look after myself.
Thank you, as always, for trusting Odi Bear Pet Care with your precious family members.
It truly is a privilege. ❤️
