Before caring for a pet, I like to learn as much as possible to make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and happy in my care. It’s important for me to know things like: • Daily routines – feeding schedule, potty breaks, walking habits, nap times • Behavior and temperament – Are they shy or social? Any triggers or fears? • Medical needs – allergies, medications, past injuries, or anything I should watch for • House rules – Are they allowed on furniture? Crate-trained? Specific commands they know? • Interactions – How do they do with other pets, kids, or new environments? • Emergency contacts – vet info and what to do if something unexpected happens Every pet is unique, so the more I know up front, the better I can tailor care to their needs and make their time with me as smooth and stress-free as possible.

When pets stay with us, they get a mix of fun, freedom, and plenty of love! We love to play fetch in our large, fenced yard, go on nature walks around our property, and explore all the sights and smells that come with country living. For pets who enjoy social time, our own friendly dog is a great companion, and our two children are always eager to play, toss toys, or simply give belly rubs and snuggles. For more laid-back pets, we offer plenty of cozy spots to lounge in the sun, calm indoor enrichment like treat puzzles or gentle grooming, and one-on-one attention to help them feel safe and at ease. Whether it’s outdoor adventures, silly playtime, or peaceful bonding, I always tailor activities to fit each pet’s personality, age, and energy level—because every pet deserves a fun and fulfilling experience while you’re away.
