Sometimes I get the best entertainment from watching pets. Lily and McKinley are the sweetest girls.

As some of my clients already know, I will be starting a new full time position very soon. As I transition into a new schedule, please note that my hours for Liberty Pet Services will be reduced. The bulk of my services will have to be scheduled on weekends. For that reason I will not be taking any new grooming clients. I apologize for any inconvenience this may cause. Please message or call if you have any questions. Thanks, Linda.

Holiday Schedule: I encourage booking all appointments as far in advance as possible. The week before Thanksgiving has very limited availability at this time. Schedule for December now, as that is booking up quickly. Thank you.

Professional vs. Neighbor/Friend

Several times a week I see posts on the community pages requesting referrals for someone to let their dog out or care for their cats while away, etc. It's unfortunate that many of the comments are from people who are not professionals and just want to make some extra money. Everyone wants to save money, and everyone wants to make money but there are times to save and times to spend. Our pets are family and we should never skimp on their care.

Professionals are insured, have experience in the care and handling of pets, often are first aid and CPR certified, maintain schedules on time based on what is requested, observe behavior changes, and much more.

The neighbors teen thought it was great to toss the ball for 30 minutes to exercise your dog after feeding him. This is a situation that can cause the stomach to twist, especially in large breed dogs. Bloat is an emergency and can be fatal. The teen had no idea it was bad to exercise your dog after feeding.

Your retired neighbor is home all day and offered to "pop" over to feed the cats for you while you're gone. Sounds easy enough. She tripped on your uneven walkway and broke her hip. She is going to sue you for the injury.

Your cousin is letting your dog out while you go on an overnight trip. It's only one night, no need for a professional...she filled the outside water bowl with the hose while they were outside and forgot to turn the faucet off. The hose broke from the pressure and water ran all night long. Your well ran dry in the process.

Your daughters friend came to care for your rabbit. The pellet feed bowl was still full. Cool, one less thing to fill up. She fills the water and leaves until tomorrow. Sadly, rabbits are very fragile and can go off feed from stress or illness. This is an emergency. Protocol would be to remove the pellet feed and offer hay instead and monitor closely for GI stasis.

That lady that you found on your local town page came to let your dog out. Upon her entering the house your dog was nervous. She couldn't read body language and walked right up to him to put the leash on. Your dog bit her hand out of fear.

How about the kid who was hired to walk your dog and the dog slips out of their collar and runs away? So many things can happen.

These are just a few scenarios. How would having a professional make these situations non existent or at the very least, less complicated? Insurance, knowledge and responsibility. You get what you pay for. Good service isn't cheap and cheap service isn't good.

Yesterday Gracie the French Bulldog puppy had her first training session and was an excellent student. We followed up her session with socializing and fun with my personal dog Cider.
