Please let me know if your dog or cat has any special needs, sensitivities, or routines I should know about — including medications, fears, preferred walking routes, or feeding habits. I’m happy to adapt to their pace and personality, whether they need a little extra space, slow introductions, playful engagement, or quiet companionship. The more I know in advance, the better I can make them feel safe, respected, and at ease while you're away.

I take a gentle, structured approach with both dogs and cats. For dogs, we’ll go on calm, enriching walks through the neighborhood or nearby parks — stopping to sniff, observe, and take breaks as needed. I let each dog set the pace, whether they’re eager to explore or just want a slow stroll with plenty of sniffing and head tilts. We might play simple games, practice calm focus, or just enjoy some quiet outdoor time together. For cats, I keep things soft and intuitive. I offer check-ins with feeding, litter care, and whatever level of interaction they prefer — whether that’s play, cuddles, brushing, or simply being near them while they nap. I respect their moods and boundaries, always approaching with patience and care. Whether it’s a high-energy dog or a quiet senior cat, my goal is to provide presence, calm, and comfort throughout the visit.
