I would care for pets in a client's home, depending on their preferences and needs. Easiest option: pet parent has a chill dog who requests the dog gets breakfast and potty time outside in a fenced yard and then some play time or snuggle time. Other easiest option: pet parent has a cat and I come over and change the litter box and fill up food and water and say hello if the cat pops her head out. But not every pet is straight forward. I've lived in an apartment and have done the walking routine for every potty break. When my one dog was a puppy he destroyed everything so I know the crate-every-time-you're-not-watching routine as well. I had a dog growing up who needed allergy shots under her skin so I know that process. My dogs now take daily meds in pill pockets so I know that routine. Every animal is different!
