Before caring for any pet, it's very important for me to know specific details about them to ensure their safety, comfort, and well-being. I always ask pet owners to share the following information in advance: Any medical conditions, allergies, or medications Feeding schedule and dietary restrictions Behavioral issues or triggers (e.g., fear of loud noises, reactivity to other dogs, separation anxiety) How they behave on walks or around other animals/people Any history of aggression or biting Favorite activities, toys, or routines Commands they understand or training cues they follow Emergency contact and vet info Having this information ahead of time helps me provide the best care possible and avoid any situations that could lead to harm or misunderstandings. My priority is always the safety of the pet, the community, and myself.

typical day with the pets I watch starts with a warm greeting and making sure they’re comfortable and happy. I follow their usual routine closely whether that means feeding them, going out for a walk, playtime, or just some calm cuddle time. For dogs, I love going on walks, playing fetch, or even practicing some basic training commands if they enjoy it. If the pet is more relaxed or older, I’ll spend time sitting with them, giving belly rubs or brushing their fur. For cats, I enjoy engaging with them using toys like feather wands or laser pointers, or just relaxing with them if they prefer quiet companionship. Every pet is unique, so I always adjust activities based on their personality, energy level, and what they love most. The goal is to keep them happy, safe, and feeling loved while their owners are away.
