Sunscreen, Schedules, & Sniff Breaks: You're Not a Bad Pet Pawrent for Needing Help.

Let’s be honest for a second — summer isn’t just vacations, BBQs, & patio cocktails. For pet pawrents, it’s logistics central. Who’s feeding the cat while we’re at Cedar Point? Who’s letting the dog out while we’re at the office all day because the kids are at Grandma’s? And what about the turtle that only eats the freeze-dried shrimp from the top shelf of the pantry?

This time of year, we see it all. And I mean all. At Fairy Dogmothers, we call this the “summer shuffle” — when your calendar fills up faster than your dog can destroy a squeaky toy, & suddenly you need a trusted second set of hands (or ten paws) to help keep things running smoothly at home.

If this sounds familiar, I want you to know two things:

1. You are not a bad pet pawrent for needing help.

2. That’s exactly why we’re here.

What We’re Seeing This Summer:

🐾 Long workdays & commutes now that hybrid jobs are more in-person again.

🐾 Spontaneous lake weekends (we see you, Geneva-on-the-Lake crowd).

🐾 Full-day sports camps & dance recitals that make you wonder if you’ve moved into your minivan.

🐾 Road trips, reunions, & family vacations — all amazing, but not always pet-friendly or the best environment for your fur babies.

Here’s What We Want You to Know:

💬 We don’t judge.

Seriously. Whether you need us to swing by to feed your bearded dragon or take your dog on a walk because you’ve got a back-to-back Zoom marathon, we get it. We’ve been there.

🕰️ We’re built for consistency.

Your pets deserve routine & care that feels like home — not a stressed-out neighbor or a rushed family member doing you a favor. We’re pros. And we actually love this work.

❤️ We adore your pets like they’re our own.

Yes, we remember your dog’s favorite sniffing spots & your cat’s nap schedule. We take mental notes on the way your bunny likes her greens chopped & how your senior pup needs his meds wrapped in turkey. That’s not extra. That’s just what we do.

So if you’re deep in the summer shuffle & trying to be everything for everyone — take a breath. Feel free send us a message. Let us take something off your plate so you can enjoy your summer without the guilt.

Because honestly? Your pets won’t just be cared for.

They’ll be spoiled — the Fairy Dogmothers way.

With love (& lots of treats),
