How do you handle the emotional fallout?
What strategies do y'all have if any, for managing your emotional attachments to the dogs you sit, and mitigating sadness/depression after they leave (boarding) and/or you go home (housesitting)?
Such a sweet question. I try to stay busy and book recurring sittings as often as allowed. I also like to look back through photos. It helps if you are attached to all the dogs you sit. I will say, I've had one client move and one whose dog passed away between stays - those were difficult.
