With the vast majority of people opting not to travel and many people being forced to remain home due to stay-at-home orders or furloughs, we saw many bookings cancelled.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We don&#8217;t anticipate things will improve in Q2 and are forecasting no revenue this current quarter. However, we do NOT want this to impact our ability to help rescues and shelters across the country, so we are ironing out a new giving back initiative. Be sure to check back with us on Tuesday for an announcement about how we will continue helping animal welfare organizations while COVID-19 impacts day-to-day operations!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Need a pet sitter? <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sittingforacause.com\/register.php\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Sign up<\/a> today to be part of the pet sitting that gives back movement!<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>We are excited to share our 2020 Q1 donations as well as some company updates!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":5793,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":[],"categories":[48],"tags":[424,858,278],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.sittingforacause.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5790"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.sittingforacause.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.sittingforacause.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.sittingforacause.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.sittingforacause.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=5790"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/www.sittingforacause.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5790\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":5795,"href":"https:\/\/www.sittingforacause.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5790\/revisions\/5795"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.sittingforacause.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/5793"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.sittingforacause.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=5790"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.sittingforacause.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=5790"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.sittingforacause.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=5790"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
