I always want to make sure your pet feels safe and comfortable, so the more I can know ahead of time, the better! It’s helpful to know things like: • Their usual routine (feeding times, walks, playtime, etc.) • Any medical needs, allergies, or medications • Where their food, treats, toys, water bowl, and medications are kept • Behavioral quirks—are they shy, reactive on walks, or afraid of loud noises? • How they are with strangers, kids, or other animals • What comforts them if they get anxious • Where they’re allowed in the house (furniture, beds, off-limits rooms) • And of course—any little habits or preferences that make them them I want to care for your pet the same way you would, so don’t hesitate to share the details, big or small. It all helps me give them the best care possible!

Every pet is different, so I try to match their energy and preferences to make sure they feel comfortable and entertained. For dogs, a typical day might include a nice walk (or a long one if they’re high-energy), some playtime with their favorite toys, and lots of belly rubs or couch cuddles. If they’re into games, we might play fetch, tug-of-war, or do a little training reinforcement for fun and mental stimulation. For cats, we might start with a calm visit and a slow introduction (especially for the shy ones), followed by some bird-watching at the window, laser pointer chases, or batting around toys for those sudden bursts of zoomies. I’ll keep them company while I work, and we might even watch a little Cat TV together if they’re into it. Throughout the day, I make sure their routines stay on track—feeding, potty breaks, medications if needed—and give them plenty of love and attention in the process. My goal is always to keep them happy, safe, and relaxed until you’re back.
