Caring for animals and their owners can be stressful and even traumatic when faced with a critical incident or crisis. Pet sitter professionals are vulnerable to accumulated stress that can lead to losing their compassion for the animals in their care as well as for their clients. Participants will learn how to handle daily stress more effectively, recover from traumatic events and inoculate themselves against compassion fatigue and burn out. |
