Information Katherine V. would like to know about your pet

Before caring for any pet, it’s important for me to understand their unique needs and preferences. I like to know their daily routine, feeding schedule, exercise requirements, and any medical conditions or medications. It’s also helpful to learn about their temperament, triggers, favorite activities, and how they interact with people and other animals. Knowing any house rules, training cues, or special instructions ensures I can provide consistent care and keep your pet comfortable and secure. With this information, I can tailor each day to match your pet’s normal routine as closely as possible. This helps reduce stress and keeps them feeling safe and happy while you’re away. My goal is always to provide attentive, personalized care so your pet feels right at home.

A typical day

A typical day starts with making sure each pet is comfortable and settled into their routine. Mornings include potty breaks, fresh water, breakfast, and a walk or outdoor playtime, depending on each pet’s needs. Throughout the day, I’ll provide plenty of attention, enrichment, and rest, keeping their normal schedule as consistent as possible. For fun, I love mixing activities based on each pet’s personality. That could mean neighborhood walks, games of fetch, tug-of-war, puzzle toys, sniffari walks, backyard play, or simply relaxing together with lots of belly rubs and cuddles. For energetic dogs, I’m happy to go on longer walks or hikes if appropriate. For older pets or those who prefer a slower pace, I’ll focus on gentle walks, companionship, and plenty of affection. My goal is to make every pet feel safe, happy, and loved while you’re away.
