Doc the Dog Meets The Pet Nanny

It is my joy to share with you some of the adventures from a pets view. As a pet sitter I have the pleasure of having an inside perspective into the life of many amazing pets. Here is the first story in the adventures and joys of pet sitting. I hope you smile and leave with a warmed heart.

Hello fellow fur baby friends, moms and dads! Allow me to introduce myself. My name is Doc. I'm a beautiful black and white male dog. I'm very handsome, if I do say so myself. My mom rescued me from a life of regular beatings and no play time. I just cowered in a corner. She is teaching me there is still lots of love in this world. I'm a work in progress, getting more courageous and trusting every day.

One day I heard her on the phone asking this lady to please come meet me because she wanted to go have some fun in Vegas. Oh, did I mention I live with an alley cat named Copy and a prissy house cat called Jazzy? Yes, I'm cool with the arrangement and so are the cats. As soon as I met the Pet Nanny I could see kindness in her eyes. Slowly I allowed her to touch me and of course she smelled like dog treats and lavender. What a yummy and peaceful combination!

The Pet Nanny came with an overnight bag and I must admit, I was a bit nervous. I was really embarrassed because I had an accident. She told me it was okay and gently talked in soft tones until I felt more at ease. She asked me to go in the backyard and we enjoyed the sunshine. She brushed me and gave me my favorite Chicken treat. The cats told me they liked her too because she let them sleep under the covers.

Now when the Pet Nanny comes over I don't have accidents and we run relays in the backyard. She takes me on walks. She understands I only walk on the left side. I love how she praises me for being so good and never pulling on our walks or trying to run away like I used to.

A lot of people are still under the impression that a pet sitter just goes in and throws food in a bowl, changes the water and takes off.

It takes discernment, love and lots of understanding and patience to care for these dear fur babies. Blessings!
