"Pet Parents"-a new style of pet sitting

[Catherine]

I think you and Misty were a perfect example of how it works. The dog who stayed with you was not at home and missed his people, but you gave him a good time and he was okay with that.

I think the bunny I board is another good example. Luna has been coming to my place for years. I work to make his visits special and he does have fun. I think of it as Bunny Spa vacation. He is happy with me, but like every good vacation we are glad to go home. He is happy to come to me and then he is glad to go home when the time comes. He always knows when it is time to go home. I don't think I do anything different so how does he know?

Having a good dog sitter who enjoys having your pet stay with them would allow you to take a vacation in peace. You would know that your pet is having a bit of a break too. I hope the idea catches on. I also hope they sort out how to be sure that someone is safe and reliable.
