Hi everyone,
I’d love it if some of you fellow pet sitters could share your happiest moments from pet sits.
Or if you’re a pet owner, some particularly wonderful experiences with pet sitters you really appreciated.
I’m a pet sitter and my loveliest experience has been meeting a sweet little dog and her lovely owner. We have all become friends and I have done 4 sits for them, and 2 more planned.
@andrealovesanimals gee that’s a really hard one! Every time I go to a new sit, those pets become my “new favourite” lol Can’t keep saying that on my reviews as HO’s will think I simply say that to be nice but it’s true! Each and every one just keeps getting added to my long list of favourites
Watching the python I was looking after for about a month a number of years ago shed her skin at the start of my sit. Something not everyone gets a chance to see and was an incredible experience for me.
@B1anca That sounds very special all right. I’d love to try pet sitting reptiles, but don’t think I could stomach feeding them insects, etc. I quite like snakes, had one on my arm once and it was super friendly!
Thankfully I didn’t need to do the feeding during my stay but I did need to mist it every day. It was getting hungry by the time I left so every time I entered the bedroom it would move into the hunting pose haha
I actually wasn’t in the house for my favorite moment, but my spouse was. We were warned that Jamie the cat sometimes brought in live prey. By the last day of a short sit we still hadn’t been gifted. My spouse had to work remotely. I did a little clean up and walked to the village store to pick up snacks and enjoy our final morning. The better half called asking where the net was. Jamie had brought in a bird. He improvised and managed to collect the bird, shocked but not wounded, take him outside and watch him fly into the bushes. Of course once back inside he gave Jamie a treat and praised his hunting prowess.
