General: -Vet preferences *I never want to have to take an animal to the vet, but just like if you were home, there's always a chance something could happen requiring a visit to the vet. Please provide me with the address of their typical veterinary clinic as well as your preferred emergency vet if you have one. While I hope to never have to use this information I would much rather have it in advance than have to try to figure it out in the moment. -Are they spayed/neutered? -How is your dog/cat typically around kids and other people? Has there ever been a negative interaction? -How is your dog/cat around dogs? Has there ever been a negative interaction? -How is your dog/cat around cats? Has there ever been a negative interaction? -Areas they like/dislike being pet -Likes/dislikes when picked up, if they like/need to be picked up at all -Likes/dislikes (fetch, snuggling at night, etc.) -Any allergies or health concerns? Are they currently on any medications? -Are they scared of anything? (storms, dark, etc.) -Do they have a tendency to hide? If so, where? -Anything else I should be aware of Dog walking: -Are you comfortable with a stranger petting your dog(s)? -How are they on a leash? -What's your typical route? Is it okay to deviate from that route? -Routine before and after the walk Drop-in visits: -What needs to be done? -If there is additional time, what does your pet enjoy doing? House sitting: -Places in the home your dog/cat isn’t allowed -Routines (feeding, walking, etc.) -How long can your pet(s) be left alone if needed? -General house rules I know some of these are included in your profile and I don't need to know these right away (you absolutely can share if you'd like to) as long as I know before the walk, visit, or stay, we'll be good! The answers you give will not deter me from working with you and your pet(s) but please be honest so I can provide the best care possible :)

As I've mentioned previously, I want to stick to the routines that you've established within your home so please communicate what that is. If your pet is used to getting a treat after a walk, awesome! If not, also awesome! If your pet is used to snuggling at night, great! If they don't, that's also great! It should be about your pet, but please communicate these things. I will make sure we go over all of this stuff during the meet and greet and if I ever have any questions I will absolutely reach out. Additionally, if you think of something randomly (even if it's at 2 am) please let me know! With that being said, the general routines I have are as follows: Dog walking: -Arrive and greet your dog(s) -Go on the walk. I am always open to exploring new areas with your dog, but I completely understand that you and/or your dog(s) may not be comfortable with that. If not, we'll just take the typical route and probably get some pets in along the way :) -Return home, make sure they have food and water, give a treat, and say goodbye Drop-in visits: -Arrive and greet your pet(s) -Check on food and water -Get done whatever NEEDS to get done (medication, for example) -Spend the rest of the time playing, cuddling, whatever else your pet enjoys/what you'd like me to do -Say goodbye House sitting: -Wake up and take pet(s) outside to go to the bathroom -Make sure they have food, water, and medication -Walks, playing, potty breaks, etc. throughout the day -Take your pet(s) outside one last time and make sure everything is locked and secure before going to bed House sitting is by far the service that changes the most between each pet so please communicate what routines your pet is used to (wake-up time, feeding, walking, etc.) as well as what they like to do. If they like being outside I will gladly sit outside the entire day with them (assuming the weather isn't terrible). If they're a complete couch potato, I'll gladly do that too. I'm pretty flexible and my primary goal is to make sure that you and your pet(s) are comfortable with them in my care :)
