Dog Sitting Service

April 21, 2020

Businesses that are not essential are all in the same situation. Grocery stores, pharmacies, internet providers, and of course, medical facilities, are some examples of businesses that are deemed essential. Camp Bow Wow petitioned to city to reconsider their classification.

Dog sitting may not seem like an essential service at first glance. However, many of the nurses, doctors, and supporting staff at medical facilities have dogs at home. Those dogs need to be fed, let out, and taken care of while their humans are at work for long shifts day-in and day-out. Camp Bow Wow made this case to the City of Durham and the city agreed! Ashley Hippensteel is the manager of the franchise’s Durham facility. She told WRAL, “A ton of Duke (healthcare) workers drop their dogs off here.” She thinks these essential medical workers should not be distracted or burdened by issues like pet care while they are giving their all to help patients fight COVID-19. “You’re taking care of something that cannot take care of themselves–so, there are children, the elderly and then there’s pets,” Hippensteel said. We are all in this together! This goes for our fur babies as well. In order for essential workers to continue supporting the rest of us, we have to support them. Part of that is ensuring that their loved ones, human and four-legged alike, get the care they need during this crisis.
