It’s Chip Your Pet Month; Have You? Photo 472497 © Kitsen - Dreamstime.com When your pet goes missing, a simple embedded chip could help him find his way back home sooner. Before it’s too late, get your pet chipped! REAL STORY! Just last week, one of my sitters saw a post in her local neighborhood Facebook Group. The post was about a found poodle. It didn’t have a picture, so we responded, asking for a picture, low and behold, we recognized this Standard Poodle as one of our grooming clients at The Ken Caryl Pet Spa! We texted &Read more →

Did You Know First Aid Could Save Your Pet’s Life? April is National Pet First Aid Awareness … would YOU know What to do in the event of a pet emergency? What you do – or don’t do – could save your pet’s life! No one ever counts on an emergency happening. But they will happen and what you know (or don’t know) could drastically affect the outcome, especially for your pet. Even if you do end up seeking veterinarian help, the first few minutes of a pet-related emergency could mean the difference between life and death. Emergencies can happenRead more →

It’s National Train Your Dog Month! Training is not just for the brand-new puppy; it offers benefits throughout your dog’s life and helps re-strengthen your bond with your beloved family member. Whether you’re going to do it on your own or search out a professional trainer, dog training should be a staple (like exercise, food and medical care) in your relationship with your K9. Training is never a “one-and-done” activity and it’s so much more than just obedience commands and the recitation of moves. All training (no matter the specific method) should be positive and force-free, consistent, relatively short and

Help Your Pet Avoid Cabin Fever During Cold Winter Months

ChristineJ On November 26, 2018 / dog walker Littleton, dog walking Littleton, Pet Health

With colder temperatures and snow, keeping your pet happy and content can be a bit more challenging, especially if they (or you!) are not fans of winter months. Also, with the extra demands of the holiday season, it can be a struggle to find enough quality time to spend with your pets. But despite the colder temperatures and crowded holiday schedules, it’s just as important to provide regular physical exercise and mental stimulation for your pets. Or hire someone who can help. Pet Winter Safety: Active but Safe Just like their human owners, pets can become bored, complacent and even

Excuse us, your dog would like to make an announcement. The first week of October is National Walk Your Dog Week!

Rebekah Clark On August 22, 2018 / pet safety Littleton

Any business needs to be on their toes, constantly reinventing themselves to compete in their market and after 20 years, it is crazy how the pet industry has changed. Who would have been able to guess that we would have special software for dog walkers and pet sitters, let alone apps where we can just schedule a sitter we have never met to come into our house to care for our furry family members? When I started this pet sitting “gig” in 1995, most people hadn’t even heard of a pet sitter or the concept! My Goal is to put

Preventing Knee Injuries and ACL Surgical Repair in Dogs

Rebekah Clark On October 27, 2017 / Pet Sitter Littleton CO, pet sitter Morrison

What’s an ACL or a CCL anyway? The Anterior Cruciate Ligament (or CCL which is the Cranial Cruciate Ligament) is one of the knee ligaments that work as a stabilizer to help the knee to support your body. It’s also called the “football knee injury”. Over the years, I have witnessed several dogs with ACL repairs from assisting during the actual surgery to helping provide care post-op through my pet sitting business to watching dogs that have an ACL tear or rupture that has not been repaired. There are recent studies showing that some breeds are more prone to the
