Reasons to Use a Pet Sitter

It was an unfortunate event that killed Martha Stewart's dog and 15 others at the kennel it was being boarded at, if you haven't read the story read it on MSNBC.

There are MANY reasons to use a local pet sitter, who would have thought that would be another one. Use a Raleigh, NC Pet Sitter and Keep Them Happy at Home!!

Erin & I service a large part of Downtown Raleigh, Five Points, Hayes Barton, Bloomsbury, Fallon Park, Historic Oakwood, Mordecai, Village at Pilot Mill, Boylan Heights, Cameron Village Area, North Hills Area, Drewry Hills, Anderson Dr, St Mary's, etc......

It is cheaper to use a pet sitter than a kennel when you have more than 1 animal anyway, if more people would use a pet sitter there would be happier pets and people in the world, that's just my opinion though :-)

On to brighter news, Mike & I and "the girls" had a great time at Chimney Rock this past weekend, it was wonderful weather and just a beautiful day to explore the area. Lake Lure, NC is just gorgeous, we really enjoyed our trip, it was a much needed get-away!

Lake Lure is GORGEOUS!

The girls were exhausted after all the walking, they did great though and had a good time, they love taking road trips with us and we enjoy having with us, it's great quality time for us and them, we need more of that!!!

Have a great rest of the week and weekend, it's going to be rainy, YAY!

Busy Week

I hope everyone had a great Valentine's Day Weekend! My husband brought me home a BEAUTIFUL flower arrangement, I just had to share with everyone, he is so sweet. I love Yellow Roses and Purple is my favorite color so he instructed the florist of what he wanted and they did a great job, we use Gingerbread Florist often, they are GREAT!!! Times are slow for him in Real Estate selling houses if you know anyone looking to buy or sell their home please check out his website GoldenRealtyNC, we also do property management as well. Thank YOU!!

I have been busy promoting the SPCA Dog Walk wherever I can and posting flyers at coffee houses, libraries and vet offices. We are hoping for a great turnout at the event and that the SPCA will reach their goal of $130,000 for the new Spay/Neuter Clinic, read about the new clinic and the good things they are doing!!!!

The See Spot Read program I am involved in has a new Meet-Up Group please check it out, if you have a therapy dog we need volunteers, we are starting up a program at Fox Rd Elementary School next week, I am so excited about the group and how much it's growing. The kids really enjoy reading books to dogs and interacting with them, it's fun for everyone!

I am off to walk some sweet pugs, their owner has been working a lot of long hours lately and I am seeing them twice a day at 10:30am & 4pm giving them extra attention, walks & TLC. The girls are doing fine, but their owner is ready for long hours to be over, it's tough being a lawyer I am sure, I enjoy my job immensely and don't have to worry about getting stressed often, only on Holidays so I get overwhelmed, but ever since Erin has joined my company I have had more free weekends and time to work on marketing my website and business. I hope to hire a 2nd person this Spring and keep them as busy as Erin stays.

Have a great rest of your week!

It's a BEAUTIFUL Day here in Raleigh, NC and a great day to be out with your pets, whether your own or someone else's. I took my 2 Maltese, (Joy is pictured on the Left, Happy is on the Right) on a long walk, they really enjoyed it. The bad thing with keeping them in a long coat is they do pick up everything, I had to brush them out when we get back. I hope everyone else enjoyed the weather today, it's going to be a pretty nice week, YAY!!! Please Go Here to donate food and care to rescued animals, it's FREE, I have it bookmarked and try to remember to do it daily!!
