Before watching a pet, I always make sure to learn important details about their needs, routines, and behaviors. It’s crucial to know if they have any allergies, medical conditions, or special dietary restrictions to keep them safe and healthy. I also ask about any behavioral traits, such as anxiety, aggression toward other animals, or specific fears, so I can handle situations appropriately and ensure their comfort. Understanding their daily routine, including feeding schedules, exercise habits, and any training commands they respond to, helps me provide consistent care. If a pet requires medication or has mobility issues, I make sure to follow the owner's instructions carefully. By gathering this information in advance, I can create a safe and enjoyable experience for both the pet and their owner, ensuring they are well cared for in every way.

When I watch pets, I make sure they feel loved, entertained, and well cared for. Since I have experience volunteering at the HSPCA and helping animals find homes, I understand the importance of keeping pets engaged and comfortable. I enjoy taking dogs on walks to give them exercise and fresh air, as well as playing games like fetch or tug-of-war to keep them active. If a pet enjoys learning, I like to reinforce basic training commands with treats as a fun way to stimulate their minds. For more relaxed pets, I spend time cuddling or simply sitting with them to make them feel safe. I also incorporate enrichment activities, like hiding treats around the house or using puzzle toys to keep them entertained. Since I have experience with marketing and social media, I love capturing cute moments and sending photo updates to owners so they know their pets are happy and in good hands. No matter the pet’s personality, I make sure to tailor my care to their needs, ensuring they are comfortable, active, and well-loved.
