Information Kate Z. would like to know about your pet

Let me know your specific routine, and I will follow it. It's also essential to have a list of your pet's preferences so I can ensure quality pet-sitting. ❤️

A typical day

A typical day with the pets I watch starts with a morning walk to get their energy out and enjoy some fresh air. After a healthy breakfast, we might have some playtime with toys or a fun game of fetch in the backyard. Midday, I’ll provide some cuddle time or gentle grooming, depending on their preferences. We can also work on basic training commands while enjoying treats! In the afternoon, I like to take them for another walk or enjoy some interactive play. Evenings are perfect for winding down with some quiet time, snuggles, and perhaps a little training reinforcement. Each pet’s routine is tailored to their needs, ensuring they feel loved and engaged throughout the day!

We booked last minute and it wasn’t an issue. This was our first time with a professional sitter and knowing our large breed dog needed to take medication made us very nervous - but it wasn’t an issue. Kate came on time and was great. No worries and photos showed us a happy boy. Would book Kata again.
