Before caring for a pet, it’s important for me to know their daily routine, feeding schedule, walk preferences, and any medical needs such as medications, allergies, or mobility issues. I also ask about behavior, energy level, fears or triggers, and how they interact with people, other pets, or new environments. I like to understand what makes each pet feel comfortable—favorite toys, commands they know, sleeping arrangements, and any house rules. Emergency contacts, vet information, and permission for medical care are also important. Having this information ahead of time allows me to provide safe, consistent, and stress-free care that closely matches what the pet is used to.

A typical day is structured around the pet’s normal routine so they feel comfortable and secure. Mornings usually start with feeding, potty breaks or walks, and some light play or enrichment. Midday includes additional walks or drop-ins, interactive play, mental stimulation like puzzle toys or training games, and plenty of attention and affection. In the afternoons and evenings, I focus on longer walks, supervised outdoor time, fetch, tug-of-war, or calm enrichment depending on the pet’s energy level. For cats and lower-energy pets, this may include interactive toys, brushing, lap time, or quiet companionship. Fun activities are always tailored to the pet’s age, personality, and health. I enjoy walks in safe neighborhoods, play sessions, enrichment games, basic training reinforcement, and relaxation time. Throughout the day, I provide updates and photos so owners can see their pets happy, engaged, and well cared for
