Super friendly, responsive, abd great with my puppy roxy. So thankful for her help.
Came home to happy and healthy pets, and a house in the same clean condition I left it in - what more could I ask for?! Received updates during her stay and communication was easy/on point.

Meet-and-Greet: Prior to pet sitting in the client's home, I conduct a meet-and-greet to familiarize myself with the layout of the home, the pet's routine, and any specific instructions provided by the client. Respect for Home Environment: I maintain a respectful attitude towards the client's home, adhering to any house rules and guidelines provided by the client. This includes respecting designated areas, keeping the home clean and tidy, and following any security protocols. Security Measures: I take necessary security measures to ensure the safety of the client's home, such as locking doors and windows, setting alarms if provided access, and being cautious with the use of household appliances. Communication with Client: I maintain open and transparent communication with the client throughout the pet-sitting period, providing regular updates on their pet's well-being, activities, and any notable observations. This fosters trust and reassurance for the client while they are away.

Information eloise s. would like to know about your pet
Health and Medical History: Ask about any pre-existing medical conditions, allergies, or medications the pet may be taking. It's important to know if there are any specific health concerns or dietary restrictions to be aware of. Behavioral Traits: Understanding the pet's temperament, likes, and dislikes is essential for creating a positive experience. Inquire about their socialization with other animals, any fears or anxieties they may have, and their typical behavior in various situations. Routine and Schedule: Learn about the pet's daily routine, including feeding times, exercise needs, bathroom habits, and any specific rituals or preferences they have. Maintaining consistency with their routine can help reduce stress during your time together. Emergency Contacts: Obtain emergency contact information for the pet's regular veterinarian and any additional emergency contacts provided by the owner. It's important to have quick access to this information in case of any unexpected situations. House Rules and Training: Ask about any specific rules or training commands the pet follows in their home environment. Understanding their training level and any house rules will help you maintain consistency and reinforce positive behaviors during your time together. Emergency Procedures: Inquire about emergency procedures in case of accidents, injuries, or other unexpected events. Clarify the owner's preferences regarding veterinary care and their expectations for communication in case of emergencies. Favorite Toys and Activities: Learn about the pet's favorite toys, games, and activities. Incorporating these into your time together can help keep them engaged and entertained. Special Needs or Accommodations: Discuss any special needs or accommodations the pet may require, such as mobility assistance, special dietary considerations, or specific grooming routines.
A typical day
Outdoor Adventures: Take the pets for walks in the park, hikes on nature trails, or visits to a dog-friendly beach if applicable. Outdoor activities provide exercise and mental stimulation for the pets. Playtime: Engage in interactive play sessions with toys such as balls, frisbees, or interactive puzzles. Playing fetch or tug-of-war can be great fun for dogs, while interactive laser toys or feather wands can entertain cats. Training Sessions: If the pets are up for it and their owners approve, you could incorporate some basic training exercises into your routine. This not only provides mental stimulation but also strengthens the bond between you and the pets. Cuddle Time: Some pets simply enjoy cuddling and receiving affection. Spending quality time cuddling and petting them can be very rewarding for both you and the pets. Brain Games: Stimulate the pets mentally by playing games that challenge their cognitive abilities, such as hide-and-seek with treats or puzzle toys that require problem-solving skills to access treats or toys hidden inside. Grooming Sessions: If grooming is part of your responsibilities and the pets enjoy it, you can include brushing sessions or gentle baths (if necessary) as part of your activities. Customized Activities: Tailor your activities based on the pets' individual preferences and energy levels. Some pets might prefer a relaxing stroll, while others might enjoy a more active game of fetch. Photo Sessions: Capture memorable moments with the pets and share them with their owners. Many pet owners appreciate receiving updates and photos of their furry friends while they're away.
