Ahead of pet sitting, it's crucial to gather as much information as possible about the pets under my care. This includes their daily routines, dietary preferences and restrictions, any medical conditions or medications they require, their behavior around other animals and people, favorite toys or activities, and any specific instructions or quirks provided by their owners. Understanding these details allows me to provide personalized care that meets the individual needs of each pet, ensuring they feel comfortable, happy, and secure while their owners are away. Additionally, being aware of any potential anxieties or triggers helps me create a stress-free environment and build trust with the pets more effectively. Clear communication between myself and the pet's owners is key to ensuring a smooth and successful pet sitting experience.

When pet sitting, I prioritize engaging and enjoyable activities to keep the animals entertained and stimulated. Depending on the pet's preferences and energy levels, we might embark on leisurely strolls through the neighborhood, explore nearby parks for a game of fetch or frisbee, or enjoy indoor play sessions with their favorite toys. For more relaxed moments, cuddle sessions and gentle grooming are always on the agenda. Additionally, I love incorporating enrichment activities such as puzzle toys, treat-dispensing games, and training exercises to keep their minds sharp and their tails wagging. Every pet has their own unique personality and interests, so I tailor our activities to ensure they have a paws-itively delightful time in my care.
