I follow instructions from the owners to a tee, especially regarding feeding and bathroom breaks. I also always play with pets and make sure that they get plenty of exercise and love/attention. Notes: - If I am pet sitting for you, the house must be non-smoking. I am an asthmatic trumpet player in need of a clean air environment. - I ask that we have a meet and greet before each sitting so that the pets can get to know me better, I know their routine, and anything of importance. In extreme cases (like another sitter canceling at the last minute), I may waive this requirement. - As a rule, I ask that every client provide me with the number of their vet in case of any emergency. You can upload it to Rover, but I prefer if it is written down on a note and stuck somewhere where I can see it (fridge, table, etc.) - Please tell me if your pet has any emotional or trust issues as this will help me adjust care (It won't help either me or your furry friend if this information is not given up front).
