Please let me know if your dog has any specific personal needs or habits ahead of time so I can best prepare to assure they are comfortable and cared for. I also would appreciate transparency regarding aggressive behavior. I completely understand dogs have a tendency to show that side of themselves when situations arise. I want to make sure everyone and all animals are safe and happy while I care for them to the best of my ability. One last thing, I would GREATLY appreciate a written reference of all needed information for all pets in my care, hard copy if possible. I’ve experienced service hiccups at client’s homes from time to time, and find it’s challenging to contact someone incase of an emergency. So, to be more safe than sorry, I ask this small request. That way, I don’t disturb you as much as possible while you’re away and I can be sure everything is handled for you. Thanks in advance!

I thoroughly enjoy entertaining and exercising with pets. For pups, I’m a big fan of fetch for the more energized dogs. Tug-a-war often brings out the playful side of any pooch whenever I interact with them. When I walk a dog(s), I usually take them for walks in their neighborhood to keep the atmosphere familiar for them while they’re parent(s) are away. I believe that doesn’t create too much anxiety for them, and trust can be built towards me. Of course, there’s tons of belly rubs, butt scratches, and behind the ear pets to help get those oddball itches at bay. As for kitties, I haven’t met a cat who isn’t fond of chasing a laser. Otherwise, they’ll usually let me know by expressing interest in some of their toys more than others. I find a way to engage with them in whatever way makes them happy. ? Finally, what’s a day of fun without some treats to reward they’re excitement and well-being. Whenever a pet displays good behavior, I’ll give them their favorite treat. ??
