Before caring for your pet, it’s helpful for me to know their daily routine, feeding schedule, and any specific instructions you follow at home. I also like to know their personality whether they’re energetic, shy, anxious, or social so I can make them feel as comfortable as possible. Any medical needs, allergies, medications, or behavioral quirks (like leash pulling, reactivity, or hiding spots) are important as well. For dogs, I appreciate details about their walk habits and triggers. For cats, it helps to know their litter routine and how much interaction they prefer. The more I know, the better I can make sure your pet feels safe, happy, and cared for while you’re away.

My typical day depends on your pet’s routine, but I always start by checking in, feeding if it’s their scheduled time, and making sure they have fresh water. For dogs, I include walks, potty breaks, and playtime based on their energy level, whether that’s a longer walk or just some relaxed exercise and attention. For cats, I spend time checking in, cleaning litter boxes, offering food, and giving them attention or space depending on their personality. Throughout the day, I make sure they’re comfortable, safe, and not feeling lonely, and I always send updates and photos so you know how they’re doing. Before I leave, I do one last check to make sure everything is clean, they’re settled, and all their needs are met.
