*****************************Flea & Tick Prevention Policy********************** ****All guest dogs must be up to date on a vet-approved flea and tick preventative. A quick, gentle flea comb check is performed at drop-off before entering the home to keep everyone safe and bug free! ******************* Before pet sitting, I like to gather key details to ensure the best care. Understanding a pet’s temperament and personality, whether they’re energetic, shy, or playful, helps me tailor my approach. I also ask about their daily routine, including feeding schedules, favorite activities, and any habits they follow. Medical needs are crucial, so I check for allergies, medications, or past health concerns. Behavioral traits, such as separation anxiety or sensitivity to loud noises, help me create a comfortable environment. If they enjoy socializing with other pets or prefer one-on-one attention, knowing that in advance ensures positive interactions. Finally, I always ask for emergency contacts, including vet information, so I’m fully prepared for any situation. By gathering these details, I make sure each pet feels safe, happy, and well cared for.
