I have a sweet, curious toddler, so I like to make sure any pets I watch are comfortable around little ones. Important to Know Before Watching Your Pet Daily routine: feeding times, walk schedule, playtime habits. Dietary needs: type/amount of food, treats allowed, any restrictions. Health info: medications, allergies, or ongoing medical issues. Behavior: likes, dislikes, fears (e.g., thunder, other dogs), or quirks. Training rules: commands they know, rules about furniture, etc. Social preferences: how they do with kids, other animals, or strangers. Emergency contacts: vet name, phone number, and preferred ER vet. Safety tips: any “escape artist” tendencies, fenced yard requirements, or leash rules. Comfort items: favorite toys, blankets, or spots they love to nap.

I love keeping pets happy, active, and engaged! Depending on their personality and needs, we might go for walks, play fetch, explore the backyard, have tug-of-war or puzzle toy time, and enjoy cuddle breaks. If they’re more low-key, I’m happy to just relax together, give gentle pets, and keep them company. My goal is to make sure they feel loved, entertained, and safe while you’re away!
