Quarantine Things To Do With Your Pet
Like most pet owners these days, I’m sure you have discovered yourself spending more quality time with your furry loved ones. That’s the great thing about being a pet owner; they are here for us during the good times, bad times, and now during quarantine. I am so thankful to be a pet owner! They keep us sane, busy, and entertained while giving all the unconditional love we need in this moment. We may not be able to spend time with our family and friends, but we are lucky to find companionship with the ones who know us best, our pets. It is comforting to have a friend, playmate, confidant, and cuddle buddy.
In the case that you are running out of ideas for different activities for you and your pet, I have provided some fun ways to bond through compassionate care. There are some great suggestions to beat the boredom, get some exercise, or stimulate your mind with your best “furrend”. These activities will be a blast either during or after quarantine! I know you and your pet will enjoy the extra time creating lasting memories and come out of this stronger than before! Be sure to share your special moments by tagging Stay and Play Pet Sitting on Facebook or Instagram..
Here are some things you can do with your pet to make the best of the situation:
1. Stay Positive and Smile
Don’t let this time be wasted. You are still living and capable of reaching your goals! Keep your perspective positive and watch your productivity rise. It’s okay to smile in times in uncertainty. You can be happy and at peace without fully knowing what is ahead. I loved what this article suggests!

3. Play Fetch or Tug-of-War Outside
Every dog loves play time! Burn off some extra energy with your furry friend by grabbing a tennis ball, their favorite toy or rope, and head outside.

4. Bathe, Clip Nails, or Brush Hair and Teeth
I’m sure your dog is looking a little scruffy these days. Who am I kidding? We all are looking a little scruffy without our salons open. Our pets are getting the brunt of this shutdown too. You can show them love by learning how to do basic pet grooming.
