I like to do a meet and greet prior to a sit so the pets have time to learn who I am in the presence of thier humans, while there I go over questions like these; Do they have any known medical conditions or allergies? Are they currently on any medications? If so, what are the instructions? What is their typical feeding schedule and portion size? Where is their food stored? Are there any treats or dietary restrictions? What is their potty routine? Do they need to be walked or let out at specific times? Do they use pee pads, a litter box, or go outside? How do they behave on walks (pulling, aggression, anxiety, etc.)? What is their exercise/play routine? Are there favorite toys or games they enjoy? What are signs they are anxious, ill, or need something? How do they typically behave when left alone? Do they get along with other pets or animals? Are there specific commands or cues they know (e.g., sit, stay, no)? Are there any behaviors I should watch out for (e.g., chewing, escaping, resource guarding)? Where are cleaning supplies for accidents located? Where should I dispose of pet waste (litter, poop bags, etc.)? Are there rooms or furniture that are off-limits? Is there a specific area they sleep or nap in? What should I do if there’s a thunderstorm, fireworks, or loud noises? Where are the leashes, poop bags, carriers, or crates stored? Do they need to be crated when left alone or overnight? Should I check the mail, water plants, or do anything else while I’m there? What vet or emergency clinic should I contact if needed? Is there a preferred emergency contact other than yourself?

I love engaging pets with fun activities like going for walks, playing fetch, or just spending quality time cuddling and giving belly rubs. I also enjoy exploring pet-friendly parks, using enrichment toys, and keeping them mentally stimulated with games and puzzles. Every pet has their own personality, and I love finding what makes them happiest. I also balance this with the owner's wants and needs for thier fur babies.
