🐍✨ A Day in the Life of a Pet Sitter: 🐍✨

(Also known as: "Where’s Zuko?")

Pet sitting isn’t always just belly rubs and tennis balls. Sometimes, it’s searching for a grumpy snake named Zuko who’s gone completely MIA, and may or may not be in the middle of shedding his scales.

Last month, our client (let's call her MC) was worried when she hadn’t heard any updates on her beloved hog-nose snake, Zuko. None of our sitters had seen him in several days, and feeding time had come and gone with no sign of the sneaky noodle.

Cue the Team PPS Investigation Unit 🕵️‍♂️🐾

🧐 Sitter Josh was the first to raise the alarm that Zuko hadn’t been spotted in several days and might need some extra sleuthing.

🧠 Sitter Emily explained that hiding during shedding ("going blue") is normal snake behavior, but also suggested it could be worth checking in.

🧠 Sitter Marcia double-checked the notes and coordinated the evening visit while managing dog duties with Pippin.

🙈 Sitter Aimee wisely recommended getting permission before playing a game of “Where’s Waldo” in the terrarium.

🙋‍♀️ The client, MC, confirmed: Yes, please dig for the noodle.

🚨 Sitter Emily bravely volunteered for the mission, warning that Zuko might "musk and grump" but wouldn't bite.

🐍 Mission: FIND THE NOODLE was officially a go!

With Marcia managing Pippin the dog, Emily dove into Zuko’s tunnels, unearthing one very annoyed but totally okay snake. 😤➡️😌 Once he realized he wasn’t in danger, he let Emily hold him for a bit before slithering off to continue his post-shed sulk.

The client, MC, was thrilled and relieved. Zuko is safe. Pippin got his walk. Marcia got to avoid the snake. And Emily? Well, she earned her honorary “Snake Whisperer” badge.

✨ Teamwork like this happens behind the scenes every day, and not just with snakes. Whether it’s medicating cats, walking anxious pups, or rescuing a chicken from a roof at sundown (true story), our sitters go above and beyond to care for your pets like family.

🧡 Thanks to the MC family for trusting us once again, and to our pet care pros for their dedication, communication, and bravery in the face of a grumpy reptile.

🐾🌟 JUNE PET STARS OF THE MONTH: SONNY, CHER & RUBY! 🌟🐾

This trio of top-tier tabbies is redefining luxury living:
🚽 Self-cleaning litter robot? Check.
💧 Fancy fountain water? Obviously.
🎾 Toy chest fuller than your Amazon cart? You bet.

These tech-savvy furballs don’t just chase lasers—they chase lifestyle. When they’re not soaking up all the love and attention from our sitters, they’re plotting how to finally order tuna on Instacart.

Sonny’s the curious one, Cher brings the diva drama, and Ruby’s got the stealth of a ninja with the purr of a Harley. Together, they’re the purr-fect power trio, and they will steal your heart (and your snacks).

Give them a round of a-paws! 👏👏👏

🌟 PPS Pet Star of the Month: Mugsy the Conehead Champion! 🌟

Let’s all paws for applause for Mugsy — our brindle boxer buddy who’s bravely sporting the latest in canine fashion: the Cone of Not-So-Silent Protest. 🐶🦺👑

Why the cone, you ask?
No, it’s not a satellite dish.
No, he’s not trying to tune into space.
And sadly, no… it doesn’t come with snacks.

👉 Mugsy had to wear the cone to keep him from licking or chewing a healing spot. It’s the doggy equivalent of “Don’t touch that!” — and let’s be honest, none of us are great at that either. 😅

Yes, it’s awkward.
Yes, he bonked into a few walls.
And yes, he guilt-tripped us with those big brown eyes.

But Mugsy powered through like a true professional — with grace, humor, and just a little dramatic flair. He even figured out how to use the cone to amplify his sighs for maximum sympathy. 😆

💛 We couldn’t be prouder of this lovable goofball. Mugsy, you're not just healing — you're stealing hearts!
