Before caring for any pet, I find it really helpful to know a few key things to make sure they feel comfortable and safe with me: Personality & behavior – Are they shy or outgoing? Do they get along with other animals or prefer space? Daily routine – Feeding schedule, walk times, sleep habits, and any rituals they enjoy. Medical needs – Allergies, medications, or any health conditions I should be aware of. Triggers or fears – For example, if they’re scared of loud noises, strangers, or certain situations. Training cues – Any commands they know or are working on, and how they respond to them. House rules – Are they allowed on the couch? Can they have treats? What are the dos and don’ts? Knowing these things helps me provide the best care possible and keep your pet happy and stress-free while you're away.

With every pet I care for, I make sure they feel safe, loved, and entertained! For dogs, I enjoy going on walks suited to their energy level—whether it’s a relaxed stroll around the neighborhood or an active run in the park. I also play interactive games like fetch, tug-of-war, or hide-and-seek with treats to keep their minds and bodies engaged. For cats, I provide gentle companionship, play with toys like feather wands or laser pointers, and make sure they have cozy, quiet spaces to rest. If a pet enjoys cuddles, I’m always happy to give them! If allowed by the owner, I also like introducing pets to basic enrichment activities like scent games or puzzle toys. My goal is to make sure each pet feels happy, stimulated, and loved while their family is away.
