Happy Pets Pet Sitting Service

Baking, shopping, wrapping, decorating……sometimes you are so busy that things get left out for your dog or cat to get into.   A new puppy or kitten added to the household will get into things.   Please, if you are not at home to watch your pets activity please remember to put items away so they cannot get into them or crate train your new family member.   Your puppy can get some crate training while you are wrapping gifts or baking.   Yes, they may make some noise but it pays off in the long run and you are right there to make sure they are just fine.   Just remember to let them out of the crate while they are quiet, not when they are whining or barking to be let out. Praise them as you let them out. Tinsel is very bad to put on your Christmas tree if you have a kitten.   They will eat it, costly surgery intervention may be required to remove it from the kittens intestine.   Dogs and puppies get into everything when left alone, even wrapped presents. If you have a Live Christmas Tree,

Some dogs panic and/or get frightened of Thunder & Lightening. Each dog reacts differently, some don’t notice at all. There are several things you can try to help your dog if they are shaking, hiding and just hate Thunder & Lightening. 1.     If you have a dog that is reacting to Thunder & Lightening, please do not leave them outside. Bring them inside the home and put them in a crate, garage, even a spare bathroom.   I knew of one dog that had to get in the home during a Thunderstorm, it was so frightened it came in the home through the plate glass window.   Put a cover on the crate (an old blanket will do) so they feel secure in their “den”.   Prior to just putting the dog in a crate, the dog(s) should be crate trained, otherwise it will just make the issue worse. 2.       Talk to your Veterinarian about the situation, there is a medications   that can calm the dog during the storm but it takes time to work once you give the tablet.   Not always convenient. 3.     Also y

  I discovered a wonderful way to communicate with our Happy Pets clients.   I have been leaving a written daily journal of each visit, so when Happy Pets client returns home they have something to read to see how Pet Sitting their babies went.     I acquired a new Smartphone and sent texts and photos to our clients while they were away instead of the daily journal.   After I received permission to send photos to their cell phones, I could reassure our clients at each visit with not only texts but with photos during each visit.   Instead of the client wondering and worrying (if you’re like me) during their whole time away from their pets, they knew how things were each day at each visit.     I, as a client would find it very comforting to know that the pet sitter was at my house explaining that they are fed and have been taking care of and they are fine.   If there was an issue we could address it right away. An example was that I sent pictures to a client to show them what their 3
