Before welcoming a pet into my care, it's crucial for me to understand their specific needs and routines to ensure their safety and comfort. I always inquire about their diet preferences and any dietary restrictions to maintain their health and well-being. Understanding any medical conditions or medications is also vital for me to provide the best care possible. I'm keen to learn about their daily routines, including feeding schedules, walk times, and sleep habits, to provide a seamless transition into my care. Additionally, knowing their usual rules and boundaries helps me maintain consistency, which is essential for their sense of security. Safety is my top priority, so I also gather information about their behavior with other animals and people, any fears or triggers they might have, and their response to new environments. This knowledge enables me to create a safe, nurturing, and enjoyable experience for them, tailored to their individual needs.

In addition to walks, training, cuddles, and hiking for the adventurous dogs, I also focus on providing companionship, which is a cornerstone of my pet care philosophy. This includes interactive play sessions tailored to each dog's interests and energy levels, whether it's fetch, tug-of-war, or puzzle toys that stimulate their minds. I also love incorporating fun training games that not only reinforce good behavior but also keep them mentally engaged. For quieter moments, I offer gentle petting and relaxation time, ensuring they feel loved and secure. My aim is to create a balanced blend of physical activity, mental stimulation, and emotional comfort, making their time with me both enjoyable and enriching.
