How do you write good daily updates?
I'm struggling with coming up with good messages when sending the owner daily updates on their pets. This is especially true if I'm boarding or housesitting for multiple days and it feels like I'm writing the same things. What do you write?
I always send photos or videos because I think owners miss their pets and just want to see them. My messages are usually something short and generic like "Hi Jane! Fido is doing great and we're going on lots of walks daily. He's eating and sleeping well and we're playing lots of fetch" which feels odd to say repeatedly on multiple days. I might include a little more detail - "Hi Jane, Fido is doing great! He has his first walk at 7am and a few more throughout the afternoon including some long walks. He's eating a little bit less than I feed him but is eating well. He's also enjoying time on the balcony." I wonder if I should just write something fun and silly and informal.
I hear ya, esp. w/recurring stays. I make it fun & write as if I was hanging w/friends. Ex: “We watched SNL & agreed that Lizzo was amazing. Now [doge] wants to see her in concert! Lol” Then I add a pic of us snuggling & getting belly rubs while watching. I include important deets when needed ofc.
