“It is rewarding to come home after a few days traveling and find my loved furry cats happy and cheerful - clearly missing me, but not is a desperate "where were you" way. More like, " oh, you're back. That other human come to feed us and spoil us while you were gone and we had a great time with her!" God probably has a special place in heaven for pet sitters like Hunter, who helps rake care of our loved ones, even when those loved ones comes on four paws in a furry coat.”
