Is pet assisting right for you?
If you’re considering a career in the exciting, fast-paced world of celebrity pet assisting, let me tell ya — it’s not all glitz and glam.
Sure, there are advantages, like travel. One week it’s Paris to “get the gravy situation in order.” Next week it’s Napa Valley for fresh organic catnip.
But for all its perks, you do have to sacrifice a lot…
First, you can kiss your weekends goodbye, because celebrity pet employers basically own your @ss. And yes, I speak from experience.
Today was supposed to be my first Sunday off in weeks, and I had plans to go for a hike before catching a late movie with El Hub.
As often happens, I had my hand on the doorknob when I received a text from Tabs. In it, he said it was “of the utmost importance” that I organize his vast collection of accessories by color and ribbon width, and it absolutely, positively had to be done by tonight.
Big surprise.
He also insisted that I take some pics of him to give to his stylist, who then, after checking with our focus group, would color coordinate his outfits for the upcoming awards season.
So I’ve basically spent my entire afternoon with a diva kitty supermodel wrapped in a rainbow of ribbons.
Le sigh!
Here’s a look behind the scenes at some of the outtakes…
“…my latest TV obsession.” I must type that phrase at least five time a week.
