Before caring for your pet, I’d love to know any special needs or routines that are important to them. This includes specific food or feeding instructions, any supplements or medications they take, and details about their personality — especially things that might help me get to know them better or make them feel more comfortable. I’m also happy to stick closely to their usual daily schedule, so please feel free to share anything about their habits, preferences, or quirks. The more I know, the better I can make sure your pet feels safe, happy, and cared for in the way they are used to.

I love making playtime a fun and engaging part of each day with the pets I watch! I’m naturally active and athletic, so I genuinely enjoy running laps with high-energy dogs, playing fetch, and going on long, scenic hikes — especially with my best friend’s Labrador, who I care for regularly. I’ve always had a great connection with high-energy dogs because I make sure they get the physical and mental stimulation they need to feel happy and balanced. With cats, I take a more gentle approach at first, letting them set the pace. Once we’re familiar, I love engaging them with toys, games, and whatever play style they prefer — whether it’s chasing a feather wand or encouraging a classic case of the zoomies. I always try to match each pet’s energy and personality, giving them not just attention but a daily outlet for fun, movement, and connection. Playtime is just as rewarding for me as it is for them — it keeps us both active, happy, and bonded.
