I always care for pets in their own home — I never host animals at my place, so they stay in a familiar, secure environment. With dogs, I'm especially careful with leashes, doors, and gates, and I always ask in advance about their favorite routines, walking routes, and games — both indoors and outdoors — as well as any specific triggers, which matters most for anxious or reactive dogs. With cats, I keep the litter box clean, stick to their feeding routine, and give them space to approach on their own terms — while always being ready to offer affection and care whenever they want it.
