Besides the basics like being fully aware of allergies and any medical issues, I want to know: • What their routine normally looks like - do they really count on their walk every day, or are they just as happy playing for exercise? •If they are fully housebroken. • If they chew shoes or have a history of eating things they're not supposed to. • What things you like to do to minimize anxiety if you've ever had to or, conversely if you’d like me to be the one to find that out for you. • Where the preferred sleep or hangout spots are (particularly important for cats). • If there are any aggression triggers (e.g. other dogs while leashed, food guarding behaviors, history of abuse) • I like to be as confident as possible that I won't spend my entire booking cleaning pees and poops and having my things ruined. I love dogs but Nikes are kind of expensive and if your dog is going to chew my LE's I need to know!

I like early morning or late night walks in the summertime while on house sits and if it is too late for a walk because of the temperature, playing in a grassy backyard is something fun we can do instead. A lot of my doggies and kitties are Netflix bingers who go on walks, but play indoors is as an important part of bonding with my charges as all the snuggles.
