Before taking care of a pet, I like to gather as much information as possible to ensure their safety, comfort, and happiness. This includes details about their health, such as allergies, medications, or medical conditions, as well as their feeding schedule and any dietary restrictions. I also ask about their behavior, like how they interact with strangers, other animals, or loud noises, and their usual exercise routine. It’s important for me to know their bathroom habits, any training or rules they follow, and of course, have emergency contacts, including their vet. This way, I can provide the best care tailored to their needs.

I plan to tailor activities to each dog’s personality and energy level. For active dogs, I’ll include walks, playtime in the yard or park, fetch, and structured exercise. For more relaxed pets, we’ll enjoy gentle strolls, cuddle time, and mentally stimulating games like puzzle toys or treat hiding. I ’ll also ensure they get plenty of attention and affection, and if the owner allows, we might explore new parks or pet-safe trails to make our time together extra fun and enriching!
