Safety, trust & environment

Ensuring the safety, trust, and a welcoming environment for pets is of utmost importance to me. When it comes to caring for your pets in my home or a client's home, I take several measures to ensure their well-being. To establish trust with the pets, I approach them with patience, kindness, and respect. Understanding that each pet has its unique personality and needs, I make sure to create a positive and calm atmosphere around them. I spend quality time with them, engaging in activities they enjoy, and providing them with the attention, love, and care they require. Building trust is essential in making them feel comfortable and secure in my presence. In terms of safety during walks or outdoor activities, I know how to use appropriate leashes, harnesses, or other necessary equipment to keep the pets secure and prevent them from wandering off or encountering any dangerous situations. I am vigilant and aware of their surroundings to ensure their safety at all times. I also know how to maintain a clean and hazard-free environment. This includes regularly cleaning and sanitizing any areas where the pets may spend time, such as their sleeping quarters, play areas, and feeding spaces. I also have safety measures in place to prevent any potential accidents, such as securing gates, covering electrical outlets, and removing any poisonous plants or substances from their reach. Additionally, I prioritize open communication with the pet owners. I provide regular updates on their pets' well-being, behavior, and any concerns that may arise during my care. Maintaining transparency and promptly addressing any queries or issues helps foster trust and reassurance for the owners. Overall, my goal is to create a safe, trustworthy, and comfortable environment where pets can thrive and feel at ease. By prioritizing their safety, building trust, and maintaining an inviting atmosphere, I strive to provide exemplary care for every furry companion I have the pleasure of looking after.

Information Jacob T. would like to know about your pet

I’m so eager to meet you and your pet(s). I always offer my clients the option of a meet and greet before services begin so feel free to send me a message to schedule. I do charge for one visit if you want to meet in person. Please let me know if your pet(s) have any dietary or activity restrictions and if your pet(s) have a favorite type of treat that you approve of. Let me know how I can best be of service to your family and pets. I always try to tailor my services to the unique needs of who I’m serving.

A typical day

I can follow instructions very closely and ensure your pets are well cared for. Whether your dog prefers lounging around or fetching a ball, I’m committed to giving pets the most comfortable and fun experience. When owners request enrichment activities for their dogs, I make sure to provide a variety of stimulating and fun experiences. Some examples of enrichment activities I offer include: 1. Interactive toy play: I engage the dogs with puzzle toys, treat-dispensing toys, or interactive games that challenge their problem-solving skills and keep them mentally stimulated. 2. Outdoor adventures: I take the dogs on exciting outdoor excursions such as hikes, nature walks, or trips to dog-friendly parks where they can explore new sights, smells, and environments. 3. Training sessions: I incorporate positive reinforcement techniques to teach the dogs new tricks or obedience commands. This not only enriches their mind but also strengthens our bond and improves their overall behavior. 4. Socialization opportunities: I arrange playdates with other friendly and well-behaved dogs, allowing them to interact and engage in healthy social behaviors. This helps build their confidence and teaches them valuable canine communication skills. 5. Sensory experiences: I create sensory-rich experiences by setting up scavenger hunts using different scents or textures for the dogs to explore. This provides mental stimulation. 6. Relaxation time: I always ensure that there are opportunities for the dogs to relax and unwind. Whether it's through calming music, snuggle time, or gentle massages, I aim to create a soothing environment for them to feel safe and comfortable. Remember, every dog is unique, so I always tailor these enrichment activities to suit their individual needs, preferences, and energy levels. Cat Care Note: Please note that my rate for cats does not include litter box cleaning. If this is something you need, don’t hesitate to let me know.
