I always ask about your pet’s personality: do they get along with other dogs/cats or young children, etc, just to be aware ahead of time. I also make sure I understand exactly what your instructions are, where their vet is located (in case of emergencies), and what their normal routine is so I can keep consistency for comfort while you’re away.

I enjoy taking dogs for walks, to the park, or hikes (if that best suits your fur baby. I also like to spend a lot of time getting to know their personality and special quirks so they feel more at ease with me. I find that building a relationship initially helps me be more in tune with what they enjoy or aren’t comfortable doing.
