Before watching a pet, I always like to understand their routine, personality, and needs. Some key things I’ll ask include: • Health & Medical Needs 🩺 – allergies, medications, recent injuries, or special diets. • Behavior & Temperament 🐾 – are they shy, anxious, playful, or reactive around people/dogs? • Potty Habits & Schedule 🚽 – how often they go out, any potty training details. • Feeding Instructions 🍲 – type of food, portion size, and feeding times. • Exercise Level 🎾 – high-energy adventurer or more of a relaxed walker. • Training Cues & Commands 🧠 – words or hand signals they already know (so I can be consistent). • Comfort Items & Preferences 🛋️ – favorite toys, places to sleep, or things that help them feel safe. • House Rules 🚪 – are they allowed on furniture, beds, or do they need to be crated when alone? This way, I can make sure your pet feels safe, happy, and at home while they’re with me.

I love keeping pets active, happy, and comfortable. Depending on their age, energy level, and what the owner prefers, I’ll include things like: • Daily Walks & Sniffaris 🐾 – not just exercise, but letting them explore scents, which keeps their minds engaged. • Playtime 🎾 – fetch, tug, or squeaky toys for high-energy pups, or gentle games for smaller/older dogs. • Training Refreshers 🧠 – practicing simple commands like sit, stay, wait helps build confidence and consistency. • Cuddle & Relax Time 🛋️ – for pets that love snuggles, I’ll make sure they get plenty of attention and comfort. • Interactive Toys & Enrichment 🧩 – puzzle feeders, lick mats, or frozen Kongs to keep them mentally stimulated. • Companion Time with Kai (my pup) 🐶 – if approved, friendly dogs may enjoy some safe, supervised social time with my puppy, who loves making new dog friends. Most importantly, I tailor activities to each pet’s routine and make sure they get the same love and care they do at home.
