To ensure the most enjoyable and safe experience for your furry family member, there are several things I like to know in advance: Health History and Special Needs: Does your pet have any medical conditions, allergies, or specific dietary restrictions? Are there any medications or special treatments I should administer? Behavior and Temperament: What is your pet’s personality like? How do they interact with other animals and people? Are there any quirks, fears, or triggers I should be aware of? Routine and Schedule: Pets thrive on routine. I’d love to know their usual schedule for meals, walks, and sleep, as well as their favorite ways to play and relax. Training and Commands: Are there specific commands your pet responds to? Any ongoing training regimens you’d like me to maintain or reinforce? Emergency Care Preferences: In the unlikely event of an emergency, having your preferred vet's contact information and knowing your wishes for emergency situations is vital. Contact Information: While you’re away, it’s important for me to have a way to reach you or someone you trust for any questions or updates about your pet’s well-being. The more I know about your pet, the better I can tailor my care to fit exactly what they need and ensure they have a happy, comfortable stay. I’m here to accommodate any particular requirements and provide peace of mind that your pet is in loving, attentive hands.

Every day is a new adventure for the pets I watch, and I make sure it’s filled with fun and loving care. Our typical day starts with a warm greeting and a morning stretch, followed by a leisurely walk around the neighborhood or to the local park. This isn’t just a potty break; it’s a time filled with exploration and exercise. After our walk, we have breakfast and some quiet time. This allows for any food to settle and gives the pet a chance to relax before we kick off our activities. Mid-morning might involve some playtime in the backyard or living room, depending on the weather. We love fetch, tug-of-war, and interactive toys that challenge their minds and keep their tails wagging. Lunchtime is a relaxed affair, with another short walk to ensure they're comfortable and to aid digestion. Post-lunch, it's nap time or calm indoor play, especially for the pups that appreciate a good snooze or a gentle cuddle. In the afternoon, we ramp up again with more play — this could be agility fun in the yard or a trip to a dog-friendly area where they can socialize and run freely, always under my careful supervision. We might work on some basic training as well, turning treats into teaching moments. As the day winds down, we settle in for dinner, followed by a peaceful evening stroll. It's the perfect way to reflect on the day's fun and start winding down. Once we're back, it's relaxation and family time, where your pet is treated as part of my pack, getting all the belly rubs and affection they desire before bedtime. My goal is to keep your pet engaged, happy, and tired out from a day full of activities by the time they snuggle up for a good night's sleep.
