Before taking care of a pet, it’s crucial for me to know about their personality, routines, and any special requirements so in most cases I require a meet-and-greet. Some of the key things I like to ask are: Medical needs: Does the pet have any health conditions, allergies, or medications they need? Knowing this helps me be prepared to provide proper care and handle emergencies if they arise. Behavioral traits: Is the pet shy, energetic, or nervous around new people? Understanding their temperament helps me approach them in a way that makes them feel comfortable and safe. Feeding schedule and diet: It’s important to know when and how much they should be fed, as well as any dietary restrictions to avoid any issues. Exercise and activity preferences: How much exercise does the pet usually get, and what are their favorite activities? This helps me tailor the day to their needs, whether they love long walks, playtime, or more relaxed downtime. Interaction with other animals: Is the pet friendly with other dogs, or should I avoid places where we might encounter other animals? This ensures I can plan walks and activities that suit their social preferences. Routine and habits: Are there any routines they are used to, like sleeping in a specific spot or going outside at certain times? Sticking to their routine helps them feel at ease while their owner is away

A typical day with the pets I watch starts with potty and then I make sure they’re fed and have fresh water. I always check in on how they're doing, providing lots of affection, playtime, and attention. If they have toys they enjoy, we’ll play fetch, tug-of-war, or engage in activities that keep them mentally stimulated. Throughout the day, I ensure the pets are comfortable and safe, whether it’s curling up with them for a cuddle or giving them space if they prefer some quiet time. For high-energy pets, we’ll have another walk or more playtime in the afternoon, maybe even a trip to a nearby dog park if allowed. I like to make the day fun by incorporating a variety of activities based on the pet’s needs and personality, such as exploring new trails, practicing tricks, or just giving them plenty of love and attention. My goal is to ensure they feel happy, loved, and relaxed while their owners are away
