As your pet sitter, it’s important for me to get to know your pet’s routine, needs, and quirks to ensure they feel comfortable, secure, and well-cared-for while you're away. Here’s a list of things I’ll ask to help create a smooth, stress-free experience for both you and your pet: Diet & Feeding Routine: What does your pet eat, how often, and in what amounts? Are there any favorite treats or foods to avoid due to allergies or sensitivities? I want to stick closely to their normal routine and avoid any tummy troubles. Exercise & Activity Preferences: What kind of play or physical activity does your pet enjoy? Do they love long walks, quick play sessions, or quiet time on the couch? Any favorite toys or games? Knowing what keeps them happy and engaged helps me keep their spirits high. Personality & Behavioral Quirks: Does your pet have any unique behaviors or routines? Whether they prefer to nap in high places or have a habit of hiding shoes, these details help me better understand and care for them, while avoiding any surprises. Medical Needs: Are there any health issues, allergies, or medications I should know about? Please share any relevant treatment schedules, symptoms to watch for, or emergency procedures. I’ll always prioritize your pet’s safety and well-being. Comfort Items & Favorite Spots: Does your pet have a favorite bed, blanket, or toy? Where do they usually sleep or relax? Creating a familiar, cozy environment is key to helping them feel at ease. House Rules: Are there any boundaries your pet is used to, like off-limits furniture or rooms? Do they have specific routines, like a morning walk or a quiet bedtime ritual? I’ll do my best to maintain consistency while you’re away. Socialization & Interaction: How does your pet interact with other animals or new people? Are they more independent, or do they thrive on companionship? Emergency Contact Information: I’ll need your vet’s contact details, your emergency contact info, and any other important numbers. It’s also helpful to know what signs of distress or illness to watch for in your pet, just in case. Separation Behavior: Does your pet show signs of anxiety when you're away, or are they generally comfortable on their own? If they need extra attention, soothing routines, or background noise, I’ll be ready to provide that support. Potty Habits: What’s their usual potty routine, specific times, places, or signals they give? Are they fully house-trained, or do they need occasional reminders? I’ll keep things consistent and clean. Additional Notes: Anything else I should know? Whether it’s a favorite neighbor, a dislike for thunderstorms, or a preference for classical music during naps, those little details can make a big difference in your pet’s day. :)

Playtime with Purpose: We’ll start with an active session tailored to your pet’s energy level—fetch, tug, or whatever they love best. Indoor Agility Fun: Whether it’s trotting laps around the house or hopping over couch cushions, we’ll keep things moving in a playful way. I’ll cheer them on and reward their effort with treats or belly rubs. Adventurous Walks: If your pet enjoys being outside, walks become more than a stroll. We’ll add a bit of storytelling, explore new scents, and maybe stage a lighthearted “squirrel chase” (real or imaginary). Wind-Down & Relaxation: After all the action, it’s time to relax. I’m more than happy to be a cuddle buddy while your pet recharges. Whether that means curling up for a nap or just enjoying some quiet time. Puzzle & Enrichment Time: If your pet enjoys problem-solving, we’ll bring out the treat puzzles or toys. I’ll follow their lead and let them show off their smarts. Bath Time, Made Gentle: If a bath is on the schedule, I’ll keep things calm and simple. Some background music, a steady approach, and plenty of patience help make it as stress-free as possible.
