Going on vacation is all about unwinding and taking a break from your daily grind. But, if you have fur babies back home, even the thought of them can tug at your heartstrings.
Thanks to technology, pet parents can stay connected with their furry friends while away. Petsitters can send updates – from photos to videos, like the one shared on TikTok by a dog owner. But sometimes, these updates can intensify the longing for your pet.
In this particular video, a dog owner received a delightful surprise from the petsitter while on vacation. The puppies were making progress, but one little pup still needed some carrying. The sight of it left the owner feeling a mix of joy and longing.
The video was so heartwarming that the owner’s immediate impulse was to rush back home to her furry companion. The caption on the post by @buckhead.paws said it all: “Brb. Coming home asap.”
Choosing a Trustworthy Dog Walker
Pet sitting is no walk in the park. It involves a lot of responsibility, like feeding, walking, and playing with the pet. The Humane Society of the United States recommends starting your search online for certified and trained professionals from organizations like the National Association of Professional Pet Sitters.
You can also ask for recommendations from family, friends, or even your vet. Once you’ve narrowed down your options, set up interviews to gauge their experience, services, and rates. Consider a “meet-and-greet” to see how they interact with your pet.
