There is something so special about the protection of a dog…

There is no doubt in my mind that Junior and Senior would protect me with their lives without a second of hesitation. None. That kind of loyalty and love is hard to put into words. 🐾

I may only be their pet sitter, but to them I’m not “just” anything. I’m someone they love, trust, and consider part of their pack… their extra special someone worth protecting. 🥹🩷🐶

There was a time when Sophia didn’t know safety… only survival. 😔 She trembled, hid, tried to escape, and braced herself for the worst with every movement around her.

But God placed her exactly where she needed to be, in a home filled with patience, gentleness, and love that slowly unraveled every fear.

Now this brave little survivor melts into us with her whole heart and protects us with every ounce of her being. She has blossomed into the sweetest, snuggliest lovebug who knows she’s safe, chosen, and deeply adored. 🥰

Redemption stories come in all shapes and sizes… hers just happens to have four paws. ✨🐾

Having special rescue dogs of my own has given me such a personal understanding of the journey many rescue pets walk through. It has taught me patience, helped me see the world through their eyes, and given me an even deeper level of compassion and understanding when caring for rescue pets as a professional pet sitter. Every fearful glance, every small victory, and every moment of trust means so much because I’ve lived it too. 💝

From post-surgical recovery and rehabilitation to lifelong special needs, some pets simply need a little extra TLC. 🥰🐾

These journeys can feel overwhelming for both pets and the people who love them. 💕

Whether your pet is adjusting to activity restrictions, the dreaded cone of shame, medications, mobility challenges, or simply needing a little extra patience and comfort, having knowledgeable care can help bring peace of mind along the way.

With decades of veterinary technician experience, I understand the unique needs that can come with recovery, rehabilitation, and special circumstances while helping pets remain comfortable in the place they know best… home. 💝

Today we pause to remember the brave men and women who gave everything for our freedom and the sacrifices made by the families, heroes, and faithful companions who stood beside them. ♥️🇺🇸🐾

As we spend time with those we love this Memorial Day, may we never forget the sacrifice behind this day and the courage, devotion, and selflessness that made it possible.

Wishing you a safe and meaningful Memorial Day from all of us at Safe Haven Advocate Pet Care & Photography.

This sweet little one was hidden so perfectly in our yard 🥹… until the lawnmower unknowingly passed right over the nest.

We had no idea it was there. Momma rabbit had camouflaged it so well with fur and grass, it was nearly invisible. I can’t even explain the feeling when my husband realized what had happened… followed by overwhelming relief when we saw that, miraculously, none of them were harmed - just startled. 🙏🏻

Thankfully, I have dealt with baby bun buns before and knew exactly what to do. ♥️

These nests are so easy to miss - usually just a shallow hole tucked in the grass, covered with tufts of fur and grass, leaves or mulch. Momma only visits once or twice a day, so most people assume they’ve been abandoned. But they’re not.

🚨 If you ever find a nest:
• Leave it be if the babies are safe and uninjured
• Gently recover it with natural materials
• If you’re worried and want to confrim that they are being cared for by mom, place two small sticks in an “X” over the top - if they’re moved by morning, mom has been back

Please walk your yards and take a closer look before mowing or gardening this season. It only takes a few minutes and could save a whole nest of tiny little lives. 🐰💛

WHY hire a Fear Free® Certified pet sitter? 🐾

The Fear Free® Certification is specialized education focused on reducing fear, anxiety, and stress during pet care and handling.

Pets may not use words, but they’re communicating with us all the time. Stress doesn’t always look like shaking or hiding. Sometimes it shows up in subtle body language and behaviors that can easily be missed.

Fear Free® Certified professionals are trained to recognize these signs and adjust our approach to help pets feel safer, more comfortable, and better understood.

This can be especially important for pets who are shy, nervous, rescued, aging, recovering, or simply need a little extra patience and understanding. Sometimes the smallest adjustments can make the biggest difference.

Because quality pet care goes beyond food bowls, walks, and potty breaks.

How your pet FEELS matters too. 🩵
