The most important factors I should know about your pet are: - Do they take any medication? - Do they have any underlying medical issues? - Do they have any behaviors that are out of the ordinary? - Anything else that you, as the owner, feel I should know (you know best!). Regardless, I am familiar with caring for pets of all different breeds, ages, sizes, and walks of life, so whatever your pets needs may be - I'm confident I can meet them!

This depends on the animal! The attitude of each pet varies as greatly as human personalities do. Some pets prefer to play more, while others prefer to be left alone for most of the day. Some will convey a signal when they feel energized and ready to interact and receive attention, as well as conveying a signal when they're done playing/interacting and ready to rest. The level of interaction throughout the day usually fluctuates based on many different factors. I'm always willing to play and interact with pets while on the job, whether it be with toys, going on hikes, spending additional time outdoors, or simply spending time in close proximity so they don't feel alone. Regardless though, the pet is usually able to convey these needs in some way, regardless of how subtle it may be. The first step is simply recognizing how they communicate this and paying attention to these signals!
