Friendly reminder for Pet Owners! We have now reached the point of the year where even the sidewalk is likely far too hot for dog paws during the day and sometimes even into the early evening. You can test it by placing your bare foot on the asphalt, if it’s too hot for you, it’s too hot for them! Lets keep our pets safe this summer! Thank you.

Hi, does anyone have a pet sitter they recommend? I have a few trips coming up soon and I’m trying to find someone super reliable to check in on my cat. I’m also wondering for people who have used pet sitters, how did you manage parking for them? It’d be ideal if someone in our complex pet sits because then I wouldn’t have to try to figure it out with all the new parking rules (and gate access).
