For dog drop-in visits at your home: - I will always check that the yard is properly secured before letting them out and keep an eye on them while outside. - I am very rigid about locking doors, so you can rest assured your house is secure whether or not I'm there. - I will do a quick walk-through of the areas the pet has access to make sure there are no accidents or items being chewed on that shouldn't be. Any messes will be cleaned up immediately. - If I have multiple clients in a day, I will make sure to leave enough time between visits to take care of any unforeseen problems. - I do ask that you please communicate about any other people who may be present during the drop in. For dog walks: - I only walk one dog at a time and will not bring along a human walking companion/helper without asking you first. - I don't allow introductions to other pets we cross paths with while on-leash. I don't go to dog parks ever. - I'm mindful of excessive heat and cold, depending on the dog. So if the weather is not good, we'll keep the walks short or just play in your yard (if you have one). For cat clients: - If your cat is an escape artist, my top priority is ensuring my entry and exit from your home is safe and controlled. - I am on the lookout for any odd or unusual behavior, pointing to health problems. - I always let my cat friends come to me and tell me what they want or need from our visit. If it's just food and water, that's okay! If they want pets and snuggles, I'll be on it! - I will always clean up any messes I find during my visit, provided you have the appropriate cleaning supplies. For ALL clients: - I ask all clients to please provide at least 1 emergency contact number.
