I like as much information as I can get to be as prepared as possible. I typically ask for a feeding routine, exercise routine, how often I should send updates, and any important things I should know/do for each pet (I.e. type of exercise that is preferable, sleeping arrangement, any medications, comfort items I can provide them like your shoe, are they allowed in all areas of the house, should I keep them off furniture, how long they can go without a check in). I am never annoyed by long pet care instructions, if you want me to know/do something for your pet, tell me! Provide as much information as you feel necessary!

I would love to describe a typical day but each animal has their own personality and abilities. For some pups, I have sat on the porch for hours while house sitting and played fetch as I listen to an audiobook, simply because they were high energy and I had the day off. For other, more slow moving pups, I move at their pace. Perhaps a light walk or tug of war, cuddles on the couch, or we keep our distance. I work to make all the animals I watch comfortable and that looks different for each one.
