It has been a busy December! We started out on the coast with birds that we adore and returned home to Eugene and have had/having 2 more sits! We wind down just in time for Christmas with the family. Your animal family feels like part of ours after a sit. We love visiting! Here's some of our recent visits.

Check in with us if you have upcoming trips in February on. We love to love your furry and feathered families.

Science has shown that looking at photos of cute animals can reduce stress and anxiety.

I've gone to the birds again. Hanging with Esme, here, and about 18 other birdies.

It didn't take long to fill up August with a break for my birthday! If you are unable to book with us now, I hope that you will keep us in mind in the future. We love to love your furry, feathered, scaled, etc family members.
Do you know what the hardest thing with pet sitting is? It is losing those pets that we have gotten the chance to love. I seem to do a lot of mourning for those wonderful pets that some of you have lost since I last had a chance to love them.
We might seem like a temporary blip in their lives, but while we are there we sleep with them, pet them, play with them and just totally fall in love with them. There are times, especially with dogs, that when the real parents get home, if we are all there at the same time, they look at both of us with anticipation and are confused that they don't get to have all of us with them, because we shared love with them - the kind of love that you give them so they are happy when you are gone.
I just realized that I talk about this a lot - the loss of the ones that we have loved. In this business it seems like we go from full heart to broken heart, but I can't think of a better way to live. We get a lot of love in return.

RIP Congo - he was a sassy little dragon man that loved to sing and tell you that you were a pretty girl and he wanted to "put a bird on it." He was a bird that I wasn't able to physically handle, but I loved him for over 10 years on repeated pet sits.
