Important Summer Booking Reminder 🐾☀️

The summer months—especially June and July—are some of the busiest times of the year for pet sitting. While I always do my best to accommodate last-minute requests, availability during this season becomes extremely limited. Think of it as my version of holiday traffic… but with more fur and fewer road rage incidents!

On a more serious note, I never want to compromise the quality of care your pets receive. An overbooked pet sitter rushing from house to house doesn’t benefit anyone—least of all your furry family members. My goal is always to provide calm, focused, and personalized attention to every pet I care for.

With that in mind, please consider booking now for August and Labor Day weekend. Planning ahead ensures your pets get the best care possible—and saves everyone a bit of stress.

Thank you, as always, for your continued trust and support. Wishing you and your pets a happy, safe summer!

This article is worth the read! We do not give in to fear… we overcome it. 🙌🏻

"He's afraid of X, so he must have been abused by/with X."

In rescue, a lot of dogs come into care with unknown histories. Many of these dogs present with specific or generalized fear and anxiety.

It can be easy - so, SO easy - to attach a story to their behaviour. In fact, it's becoming increasingly common for people to adopt dogs BECAUSE of their story. The more tragic, the better.

The problem with this is that it tends to freeze dogs into their neuroses. Their owner becomes so attached to the story, so emotionally invested, that they themselves cannot move past it. When the owner gets stuck, so does the dog.

Then the story becomes an excuse.

He's aggressive to the postman because one must have abused him.

He's leash reactive to other dogs because he was a 'bait dog'.

He runs from us when we grab the fly swat because someone has hit him with it.

In most cases, these behaviours are caused from a lack of experience in the critical period of socialization. Their inexperience can present itself as fear, anxiety, stress and aggression; mechanisms they develop over time to cope.

But what exactly caused their rescued dogs behaviour is irrelevant. It's a fools errand to try to figure it out; an addictive oxytocin-fueled quest to justify a lack of action.

He's afraid of men? Make men = good things. He runs from the fly swatter? Pick the damn thing up and throw the dog a handful of steak a few times. See what happens.

When we adopt a dog, we're making a commitment to BETTER their life. Holding on to their past is doing the opposite. Show them they're in a better place by overcoming their problems, not nurturing them.

Not my original post… I stole it…it resonated with me and I hope it does with you as well 💚

A shout out to our dogs ...

Sometimes it’s your dog who pulls you back from the edge when life and relationships have worn you down. They have this way of grounding you, bringing you back to earth with their simple presence.
While the world spirals with complications, your dog shows you a different way of living—one that isn’t bogged down by the weight of what-ifs or past hurts. They love without hesitation, live without worrying about tomorrow, and somehow, that brings you clarity.

If only we lived more like them, we might realize that not everything has to be so heavy. They find joy in the present moment, and in their eyes, nothing is ever as dire as we make it out to be. Through their perspective, healing becomes less about overthinking and more about letting go, about being in the here and now. Maybe if we stopped taking life so seriously, the way they do, we’d feel lighter, more open, and capable of bouncing back from whatever life throws at us. They remind us to simplify, to focus on love and connection, and to let the rest fall away.

Yep yep yep!

DON’T FORCE ME TO BE SOCIAL!
It may be really disappointing and frustrating when our dogs are not the social beings we expected them to be.

Many believe dogs should just naturally get along with other dogs, after all they’re the same species.

Some believe the “unsociable” dog has a behaviour problem that needs to be “fixed”.

Early, appropriately timed and correct socialisation is vitally important, but sometimes despite all of this, some dogs are just not that sociable.

Sometimes this can be improved, especially if the cause is from a negative experience, but genetics, breed tendencies, individual personalities, health and age all contribute to tolerance and sociability, which also change throughout life.

If we, as a human species, don’t get along with everyone we meet, how can we expect our dogs to?

Do we label every person that has an argument, doesn’t make friends with everyone they meet, doesn’t like every other person, prefers not to socialise - as having a problem that needs to be fixed?

Why is it so easy to accept that every individual person is different than to accept that every individual dog is different?

When we have done what we can to improve our dogs’ social skills, we need to accept and acknowledge our dogs for the individuals they are, allow and respect their choice of whether to be sociable or not and never force interactions that a dog is not comfortable with.
