When watching clients' pets, some areas of importance to know ahead of time may include: 1. **Medical Needs**: Any medications, allergies, or specific health concerns. Scheduled feeding times and dietary restrictions. 2. **Behavioral Traits**: How the pet behaves around strangers, other animals, or specific triggers. Any aggressive tendencies, fears, or quirks. 3. **Routine**: The pet's daily schedule, including feeding, potty breaks, and favorite activities. 4. **Emergency Contacts**: Veterinarian's contact details and any preferred emergency clinics. 5. **Training Commands**: Specific commands or cues the pet is familiar with, as well as any ongoing training protocols or house rules. 6. **Special Preferences**: Favorite toys, bedding, or any comfort items that the pet prefers. 7. **Exercise Requirements**: How often and how long the pet should be exercised, and any favorite play activities. 8. **Escape Tendencies**: If the pet has any habits of trying to run away or specific things that might trigger such behavior. 9. **Recent Incidents**: Any recent behavioral or health incidents that might be of relevance. 10. **Grooming Needs**: If there are any specific grooming tasks to be performed, such as brushing or administering eye drops. Understanding these areas will not only ensure the safety and well-being of the pets but will also provide them with a comfortable and stress-free experience while in your care.

As a dedicated dog sitter and walker, I emphasize engaging and bonding activities to keep our furry friends active and entertained. Whether it's playing fetch at the local park, tug-of-war, or simply spending quality cuddle time, every day is filled with moments of connection. I love taking our canine companions to different trails and parks, ensuring that our walks are both a physical workout and a delightful exploration. Tailoring activities to each dog's individual needs and preferences, their safety and happiness are always at the forefront.
