I like to know their pet’s routine, feeding schedule, and any specific instructions for care. It’s also really helpful to know their energy level, temperament, and how they are around other people or animals. Any medical needs, allergies, or medications are important, along with things that might make them anxious or uncomfortable. Knowing their favorite activities, toys, and any house rules helps me give them the best care possible and keep things consistent for them.

A typical day with pets I watch includes making sure they feel comfortable, safe, and entertained. I start with feeding, fresh water, and a quick check-in on their mood and energy. Throughout the day, I love taking dogs on walks, playing fetch or tug-of-war, and giving them lots of attention and affection. For more relaxed pets, I enjoy hanging out with them, playing with toys, or just keeping them company so they don’t feel alone. I always try to match each pet’s personality—whether they’re energetic and playful or calm and cuddly.
