To make sure your pet feels right at home, it’s helpful for me to know a few things ahead of time: 1. Daily Routine: What’s their usual schedule for meals, potty breaks, and activities? Keeping things familiar will help them feel comfortable and settled. 2. Personality: Are they shy or outgoing? Do they love meeting new pets and people, or prefer a quieter space? Knowing this helps me give them the best care. 3. Health and Special Needs: Do they have any allergies, medications, or medical conditions? I’ll make sure to follow any instructions to keep them healthy and happy. 4. Exercise Level: How active are they? Do they enjoy walks, playtime, or prefer lounging around? I’ll adjust activities to match their energy. 5. Behavioral Preferences: Is there anything they’re nervous about or need extra patience with, like separation anxiety or loud noises? I want to make sure they feel safe and secure. 6. Comfort Items: Do they have a favorite toy, blanket, or bed that helps them feel at ease? I’d love to make them as comfortable as possible! The more I know about your pet, the better I can ensure they have a great time while they’re with me!

A typical day with the pets I watch is filled with fun, attention, and care. We’ll start the day with a nice morning walk around the neighborhood or, if the owner allows, a trip to the dog park across the street to let them run and socialize. Afterward, we’ll enjoy some playtime—whether it’s fetching toys, cuddling on the couch, or simply relaxing together. I’m always happy to tailor the activities to the pet’s energy level, ensuring they have the perfect balance of exercise and rest. Throughout the day, I provide lots of interaction, whether it’s belly rubs, training sessions for mental stimulation, or just snuggling up. If your pet loves puzzles or games, I’ll bring out some fun toys to challenge them in a way that’s engaging but not overwhelming. Meals and snack times will be at their usual schedule, and I’ll ensure they feel comfortable with regular breaks for relaxation. During my downtime, while I work on my homework, your pet will get plenty of quiet relaxation time, with comfortable spots for napping and enjoying a calm environment. Before the day ends, we’ll enjoy another stroll to unwind and, of course, make sure they’re ready for a peaceful night’s rest in a safe and cozy environment.
