I’d like to know as much as possible about your pet ahead of time to ensure their safety, comfort, and happiness. Important things include any medical conditions, allergies, medications, feeding schedules, favorite toys or activities, and how they interact with other dogs or people. Knowing their personality, energy level, and any fears or anxieties helps me tailor walks, playtime, and visits so your pet feels secure and loved while you’re away.

A typical day with the pets I watch is all about keeping them happy, active, and comfortable. I’ll start with some playtime — tossing toys, gentle games of fetch, or tug-of-war depending on your pets’ size and energy level. For walks, I make sure they get a safe, enjoyable stroll around the neighborhood, sniffing and exploring at their own pace. I also include cuddle time, brushing, and lots of attention to make them feel loved and secure. If the dog enjoys learning, I can do short training sessions with treats to keep their mind active. At the end of the day, I make sure they’re relaxed, well-fed, and content before you return.
