Does your pet have any quirks? triggers? What are their favorite things to do? and their LEAST favorite? What's their temperament? around other pets? on walks? Is there anything I can do to make the transition of not having their loved one around easier? Teach me the commands (words and/or visual queues) you use so I'm speaking a language they understand! What rules do you have in place for them? Are they allowed on furniture? Any allergies or medication needs? How much exercise do you want them to have? Do they have any limitations? The more information I have about how to keep your animal(s) happy and healthy, the better they'll feel when you're home with them again! I'm a fan of details and want to ensure that the experience is as lovely as possible.

For walks and playtime, I usually let the dog lead (unless there are instructions from the parent). I've found that helps build a bit of trust and familiarity between us so I'm not completely changing everything about the routines!
