What Makes a Tabby a Tabby?
Tabby cats aren’t a breed—they’re a coat pattern! With their trademark “M” marking on the forehead and beautiful swirling or striped coats, tabbies come in a variety of colors and patterns. Whether it’s classic, mackerel, spotted, or ticked, every tabby’s coat is uniquely beautiful.

Tabbies Have Big Personalities
Tabby cats are known for their outgoing, affectionate, and often sassy nature. They love playtime, cozy cuddles, and are notorious for their curious (sometimes mischievous!) behavior. Each tabby’s personality shines through in adorable ways.

It's National Scoop the Poop Week – Here’s Why It Matters!

National Scoop the Poop Week is observed annually during the last week of April, right after Earth Day, from April 23 to 29. This holiday was created by the Association of Professional Animal Waste Specialists to remind us of our daily duties as pet owners to clean up after them. This week also raises awareness about the environmental importance of cleaning our animal’s waste.
At Hug A Love Pet Sitting, we love all things pets—wet noses, wagging tails, purring cuddles, and yes… even the less glamorous parts of pet care. That’s why we’re giving a special shout-out to National Scoop the Poop Week, observed the last week of April each year.
This is more than a funny-sounding holiday. It’s a chance to shine a light on a surprisingly important topic: cleaning up after our pets. Whether you're a long-time client or just visiting our site, we invite you to join us in keeping our neighborhoods safe, clean, and pup-friendly.

Why Scooping the Poop is So Important?
Here’s the deal: pet waste isn’t just a smelly inconvenience. It can carry harmful bacteria and parasites that pose health risks to both humans and other animals. Left on the ground, poop can wash into storm drains and contaminate water sources. That’s not great for anyone—especially local wildlife.

By scooping your pet’s poop:🐾 You protect kids and other pets from dangerous bacteria and parasites.

🐾 You help keep our parks, sidewalks, and yards clean and enjoyable.
🐾 You show your neighbors that you're a responsible and thoughtful pet owner.
🐾 You preserve the health of lawns. Removing waste prevents damage to grass and plants.
🐾 You comply with local laws on pet waste removal.

And let’s be real—no one likes stepping in a “surprise” on their morning walk.

Pet Sitting With Poop Patrol Included
When you book with Hug A Love Pet Sitting, you can rest easy knowing we always include poop-scooping during potty breaks. Whether we’re swinging by for a walk or drop-in visit, we always clean up after your pet like they’re our own.
Because love isn’t just about treats and tummy rubs—it’s also about the nitty-gritty stuff that keeps our furry friends healthy and happy.

Do Your (Poop) Part!This National Scoop the Poop Week, we encourage everyone to:
✔ Always carry poop bags on walks
✔ Dispose of waste properly—never leave it behind
✔ Encourage fellow pet parents to scoop, too!
Let’s keep our community safe, clean, and pet-friendly for everyone. Your dog might not say thank you—but your neighbors definitely will!
