During our initial chat or a meet & greet (especially for dogs, which I highly recommend!), we'll cover essential topics such as: * Their Daily Routine: Preferred feeding times/routine, potty schedules, and favorite activities. * Health & Well-being: Any allergies, medical conditions, or medications they take. * Personality & Behavior: How they interact with new people/animals, any fears or triggers, and what makes them feel most comfortable. * Emergency Contacts: Your veterinarian's information and your preferred emergency contact person. * Comforts: Their favorite toys or special items that bring them joy. Knowing these details helps me provide the consistent, loving care your pet deserves, ensuring their peace of mind and yours while you're away!

A typical visit is all about maintaining your pet's routine and ensuring their comfort and safety. Once inside, my first step is always a warm, gentle greeting, allowing your pet a moment to get comfortable with me, especially on our first visit. For dogs, if there's a fenced yard, their first priority is usually a potty break outside right away. After that, I'll move inside to prepare and serve their food and fresh water precisely according to your instructions. I'm very conscious about preventing bloat, so I always allow a short resting period after eating before any vigorous activity. We'll then either head out for a walk or return to the yard for another potty opportunity. Throughout my visit, I strive to make sure your pet's day flows as smoothly as if you hadn't left. This includes dedicated time for engaging playtime tailored to their energy, or simply sitting and relaxing together, mirroring their normal home routines with cuddles or quiet companionship. My goal is for them to feel secure, happy, and have their routine completely upheld.
