Indigenous Peoples' Day: Honoring the Land and Our Animal Companions

Today is Indigenous Peoples' Day, a day to celebrate and honor the original inhabitants of this land. Indigenous peoples have a deep connection to the earth and all living things, including animals.

As a pet sitting business, we are committed to honoring this connection. We believe that all animals deserve to be treated with respect and compassion, and we strive to provide our clients' pets with the best possible care.

Here are a few ways we are working to honor Indigenous Peoples' Day and our animal companions:

We are learning about traditional Indigenous pet keeping practices.

We are sourcing sustainable and ethical pet supplies from Indigenous-owned businesses.

We are donating a portion of our proceeds to organizations that support Indigenous communities and animal welfare.

We encourage our clients to join us in honoring Indigenous Peoples' Day and our animal companions. Here are a few things you can do:

Learn about the Indigenous peoples of your region and their traditional pet keeping practices.

Support Indigenous-owned pet businesses.

Donate to organizations that support Indigenous communities and animal welfare.

Together, we can create a more just and compassionate world for all living things.

Pet sitting: More than just feeding and walking your pet

Pet sitting is a great way to ensure that your furry friend is well-cared for while you're away. But did you know that pet sitting can be more than just feeding and walking your pet?

A good pet sitter will also provide your pet with companionship, exercise, and enrichment. They will also be there to monitor your pet's health and well-being.

Here are a few of the benefits of hiring a pet sitter:

Your pet will be cared for in their own home, which can help to reduce stress and anxiety.

Your pet will have a consistent routine, which is important for their physical and mental health.

Your pet will get the exercise and mental stimulation they need.

You can have peace of mind knowing that your pet is in good hands.

Preparing Your Pet for Your Absence

Let your pet sitter know your pet's feeding schedule, exercise routine, and any medications they take.

Leave detailed instructions on how to care for your pet. This should include information on their diet, potty breaks, and any special needs they have.

Make sure your pet sitter has a copy of your pet's medical records and knows the contact information for your veterinarian.

While you are enjoying your please don't forget to remember those who have given their lives.

Paxton is a kitty I currently take care of. He is a lover boy. I started pet sitting because I loved animals so much, I was good at it, and because it helps ease the symptoms of my mental health conditions.

Val's Pet Service now takes appointments on their Page.

Did you know?

Dogs heat up more quickly than humans

Dogs’ normal body temperature is slightly higher than that of humans (it hovers at around 101.5° F), which means that hotter temperatures can affect them more.

We love our pets, but they are only part of our lives for a little while. They are family, so they should be treated like family.
