I am sorry about the loss of their beloved pet, I understand the empathy you have, and understand how it can weigh on your heart. When your providing care to someone, their life effects their care, I don't feel it is unprofessional for you to have an emotional attachment. Its impossible to take that away, and it is usually the reason many choose to take care of others. You care! I think I would feel more secure with someone like you, instead of someone rushing thru their day, getting as many visits in as possible to bump up their paycheck.
