🌈One of the hardest parts of being a pet sitter is the day you never want to have: losing one of the pets. Whiskey was my first client when I moved from Downtown Los Angeles to the Westside. We had a lot of easy, long walks together, days cuddling on the couch and more. I had to say goodbye when I left Los Angeles to move to Washington but always had the hope that I could become his sitter again if I moved back.
When you’re a sitter, you become attached to so many animals as you spend years caring for them like your own. But that comes with a lot of heart break. Losing a client never gets easier but some just hit much harder in the end when you have those special bonds. Whiskey, you didn’t deserve this but the world can be so cruel when it makes pets sick. Thank you for the joy you brought me and so many people.
In the words of Bob Barker, “Pets are not just animals, they are gifts to us that bring love and joy to our lives.” ♥️♥️♥️
