Each critter has their own needs. I treat each with individual respect and sensitivity. They should have the freedom to be joyful whether embarking on a well deserved nap with me sitting nearby, or an active and investigative playtime we partake together. I am willing to adapt to ensure your pet gets the care to which they are accustomed. Pets are family. It is a gift for us to have the company of a devoted pet. Having always had animals in my life, I look forward to sharing time with your pet. I love knowing your pet’s routine, personality, and any special needs. I will work closely with you to understand these in advance, assuring they are cared for with the attention you would give. Particulars such as leash habits, triggers, feeding instructions, medications or need for extra time outside, places they like to hide, and favorite treats are helpful for me to be aware. The more I know about what makes your dog or cat feel relaxed and safe, the more fun we will have. Your pet will get my devoted attention. I am clear in my communication with your pets, lessening drama, thus lending trust and predictability to our visits together. I also wish to maintain trust with you through clear communication, regular updates and photos. My goal is to maintain a safe home, a relaxed pet, and peace of mind while you are away!
