For dog walks, I pick up your dog at your home and keep them on a secure leash the whole time. I stay alert to traffic, other dogs, and anything they shouldn't eat, and I walk at your dog's pace, whether that's a slow sniffy stroll or something more energetic. I follow your instructions on routes, treats, and routines, bring water if needed, and always clean up after your dog. Afterward, I send a photo and a quick note on how the walk went. For cat sitting, I visit your home to care for your cat in their own space, which is usually the least stressful option for cats. I feed them and refresh their water the way you like it, scoop the litter box, and spend time playing or cuddling depending on what your cat enjoys. I check that they seem healthy and comfortable, make sure doors and windows stay secure, and send a photo and update after each visit. For both services, I do a free meet-and-greet first so your pet can get comfortable with me. I'll follow your routines closely and contact you right away if anything seems off.

For dogs, I like to turn walks into more than just a bathroom break. I let them sniff and explore at their own pace, since sniffing is great mental exercise, and I can add games like fetch or short training refreshers (sit, stay, recall) if the owner is okay with it and it's safe to do so. Some dogs love a longer, more adventurous route, while others prefer a relaxed stroll, so I match the walk to your dog's energy. For cats, I use interactive play like wand toys, feather teasers, and chasing games to get them moving, and I'll do gentle petting or lap time for cats who want it. I let shy cats set the pace, and I pay attention to what each cat enjoys, whether that's window watching, treat puzzles, or a good brushing. I'll always follow the owner's guidance on toys, treats, and play, and I'm happy to share what your pet enjoyed in my updates.
