I’ve had this happen twice as my dogs age. For some reason, they can no longer tolerate the food they’ve been eating. So this post is all about how to change your dog’s food. Certainly you should speak with your veterinarian first. You want to make certain your dog doesn’t have something else going on that could be causing his upset stomach. If your vet does recommend changing his food, this is what’s worked best for us. Talk to your vet about what types of food she recommends. Do you research on the various options. Some are a lot healthier than others. Some are a lot more expensive than oth ..read more

Who plans to celebrate St Patrick’s Day 2021 with your dog? Let’s hope for nice weather on March 17th. I’m sure a lot of you would love to head out on St Patrick’s Day to one of the many dog friendly bars in Charlotte. If we are lucky enough to get nice weather, hanging out with your BFLF (best four-legged friend) at a local dog friendly bar might just be the ticket. I know some of you probably aren’t comfortable going out yet because of covid-19 but I know a lot of people are. If you are going out, supporting the locally owned, dog friendly bars in the area is a great idea. (I am not passing ..read more

So many of us have been working from home because of covid-19. Since the world shut down in the spring of 2020, many families have taken the opportunity to add a new furry member since we’ve all been home so much. But now it’s time to return to work so you need to hire a midday dog walker. Or perhaps you’re feeling comfortable about taking a vacation and Fido isn’t going along so you need to hire a pet sitter. Perhaps your previous dog walker or dog sitter isn’t available any longer because so much has changed over the last year. Or perhaps you’ve never hired a dog walker or pet sitter. If yo ..read more

Recognizing the various pet holidays is fun. See what you think. Here’s my list of pet and animal related holidays. (Yes this topic might have made the most sense to post in December but I am just thinking of it…. could’ve, would’ve, should’ve.) LOL I do the best that I can. I’ll list January just in case anyone wants to refer to this and be ready for January 2022! January: Walk Your Pet Month, Train Your Dog Month, Unchain A Dog Month ..read more

If you’re here and you’re reading this, I’m guessing every day at your house is National Love Your Pet Day. I know it is at my house. When you hire me as your dog walker or pet sitter, I’ll treat your pet like it’s National Love Your Pet Day every day too. I’ve been a professional dog walker and pet sitter for almost 12 years. Every single day I get to work with dogs. Even after all this time, I still have to pinch myself that I’ve made this lifelong dream come true. As a kid, I was the one who wanted to be a veterinarian. But as I grew older, I realized I didn’t have thick enough skin to deal ..read more

Today is National Mutt Day. It may be December 2nd but we celebrate this holiday every day at my house. I know a lot of others that do too. Here are my two mutts: We call them labs but I really don’t know. We did a DNA test on Moose and it came back 100% lab. I think he’s lab / hound mix and some sort of scent hound because his nose gets him in trouble all the time. I’m not sure what Molly is mixed with. She is the first dog that I’ve had that howls. When she gets excited… like when she knows she’s going for a walk, she how ..read more

I’ve been a dog walker / pet sitter for over 10 years so I think I have a decent sample size for determining common pet names. Here’s a bit about me that you might not know: I am a fan of The Bachelor franchise. Don’t judge. :) I am particularly a fan of Nick Viall and recently on twitter he listed the Top 5 names for male dogs: https://twitter.com/viallnicholas28/status/1179810447865741312 So if you like this blog post, you have Nick to thank. He listed: Steve, Jeff, Howard, Craig and Phil as the Top 5. The post isn’t clear to me but perhaps he is thinking of getting a dog? If so, I’d love to ..read more

You can imagine my excitement when I got an inquiry recently about daily visits with a 9 week old golden retriever puppy. His name is Rhodes. He is the cutest! Since he is little, I’m currently seeing him twice a day while his parents are at work. Once he gets a little bigger, we’ll adjust the visits to just once a day. Right now we are hanging out in his large fenced yard during my dog sitting visits. When he has a little more training, I’ll start walking him. I meet with all of my new clients face to face. We discuss wh ..read more
