ShipPet mourns the loss of Rosey

ShipPet has lost a friend and a long time client.  Rosey passed away over the weekend because of a tumor.  It was just 3 short years ago we said farewell to Rosey’s brother, Bogus.

Rosey was a timid girl at first meeting.  As a big German shepherd, it would be easy to be a bit afraid of Rosey, but the reality is, Rosey was more timid and shy of people than people had to be of her.  Once Rosey got to know us and warmed to us, the loving, fun, prancing side of her came out.    She would greet us at the backyard gate, prance along right on your side, and then you could sit down, pet her head, and watch her tail wag at the attention.  She loved her treats too.  Even during her shy moments, Rosey would come up close, slowly, just to nab a treat. 

The funny moment I remember of Rosey was the walks we would take back in the back part of the yard, along with brother bogus, and watch Rosey hop like a bunny in the field behind, because of all the bugs.  It was an absolute thrill and joy sitting for Rosey and she will be missed by us here at ShipPet. 

Our condolences and sympathies go out to the Binkley Family and her sister Jesse.

Wow, what a June!

What A hectic June and soon to be 4th of July holiday!

The recovery of the economy may be slow, but Shippensburg residents are traveling. We were slammed with pet sitting bookings, many with customers brand new to ShipPet. We welcome you all!

If pre-bookings are any indication, July is going to be just as heavy if not heavier. We at ShipPet have never turned bookings down, but if July is even heavier than June, we could possibly have to for the first time.

Our suggestion is, if you’re planning travel for July and/or August, we suggest contacting us as soon as you know your dates of travel so you can be assured to get on our calendar!

Email us today at shippet@gmail.com or call us!

Epic winter storm, ShipPet delivers

Well, we are in the midst of a huge Noreaster, it is now 11 AM and two pet clients have been serviced early this morning.  We managed to snow blow our way out of our drive way, get the all wheel drive vehicle cleaned, and yes, we got the pets out and fed.

You can count on ShipPet!  Winter storm or no, we get our clients serviced.  We get your pets cared for, we take care of business. It was actually a little amusing at times to watch my wife, who is small herself, make her way through un-plowed and un-shoveled drive ways.   But we did it, and we’ll do it the rest of the day!   Now, the hard part.  Now to figure out how to get my little Chihuahua out.

Now, onward to the back pained laced snow removal at home!

We say goodbye to Sparky

With sadness, we at ShipPet say good bye to Sparky.  Sparky was one of four cats of a super, regular customer of ours.  Sparky was one of those loving and warm cats that loved to be with people.  Of the four, Spark was the ring leader, and a good one at that.  He was rambunctious and had a superb personality.

I can certainly tell you that Sparky is very missed by our clients.  He is also missed by us.  So we make this post here today in honor of Sparky and the joy he bought to the family that ,ved him dearly.  Spark, you are missed.  Rest well.
