Safety Your pet’s safety comes first in every decision I make. I keep dogs leashed and harnessed any time we’re outside my apartment, including in hallways, elevators, and the lobby, since other residents and dogs come around corners without warning. I check the weather before every walk and adjust; short routes and shaded paths in heat, and salt-free surfaces and less time outside in the cold. Before the first visit, I collect your vet’s name and number, an emergency contact, and any medical history I should know about, including allergies, medications, and reactivity around other dogs. If anything seems wrong, you’ll hear from me immediately. Trust I’m a full-time HR professional, so handling sensitive information carefully is already how I work. I treat your keys, door codes, and home the same way. Keys are labeled with your pet’s name only, never an address or unit number, and they’re stored securely at my place when I’m not using them. I send photos and an update after every single visit, so you always know exactly what happened and when. I don’t bring anyone along on visits, and I don’t share photos of your pet publicly without asking first. If plans change on my end, you’ll hear about it early rather than at the last minute. Environment I live in a pet-friendly apartment community in Lansdale with sidewalks, grassy areas, and a designated pet relief area just outside the building. My own dog, Hank, lives here with me, and I’m upfront about whether he’s a good match for your pet before I accept a booking. My home is dog-proofed already; trash is secured, cords are tucked away, and anything unsafe stays out of reach. In your home, I stick to the areas you tell me to use and leave everything as I found it, including lights, doors, and thermostat.
