Feeding schedule and dietary needs • Litter box preferences and cleaning routine • Health conditions, medications, or allergies • Personality traits and social behavior • Favorite toys, routines, or comfort items • Emergency contact and vet information • Home access instructions and any house rules

A typical day

A typical day includes plenty of love, care, and attention tailored to your pet’s routine. I’ll make sure they’re fed, have fresh water, and get bathroom breaks or litter cleaned. For dogs, that might mean walks, playtime, and cuddles. For cats, it could be interactive play, quiet companionship, or just keeping them comfortable. I take time to understand each pet’s personality so they feel safe and happy while you’re away. You’ll also get regular updates and photos to stay connected!

Pet care experience

I’ve grown up in a family that always had a pet dog or two. I don’t have the space for one so I’m offering my walking and pet care services to micro-dose having a dog. I’ve loved being able to take them on long walks and get outside in the city. I enjoy letting them sniff and check their doggy social feed. I’m comfortable and have experience being around smaller dainty dogs all the way up to huge hairy huskies.

Kevin has babysat my cats several times, often watching them for over a week. He has always been timely, fun and patient with them. He keeps their litterbox clean, water fresh, feeds them at the right time and plays with them (if they are willing!). One of my cats has some temperament issues where she can act our aggressively when she’s feeling stressed or territorial, but Kevin knows how to navigate that by respecting her boundaries and giving her attention the way she wants it. I couldn’t recommend Kevin more, but I selfishly want him all to myself !
