The absolute best thing for me, especially if house sitting for more than a couple of days, is a note (hard copy or digital) with the following info: -Your pet’s normal feeding, walking, and bathroom schedule. I do my best to adhere to their routine as closely as possible. -Any special needs, medications, or fears or aggression when it comes to other dogs, children, the mailman, etc. My top priority is keeping everyone safe! -Quirks, like if they hide under the bed during thunderstorms, or what their favorite toy is! -Name, address and phone number of your vet in case there is an emergency -The best way to contact you if I have any questions -Any other household tasks that need attending in your absence, like watering plants, trash/recycling day, if you’re expecting a package, etc. As for pets, I'm happy to take care of anything from the littlest lap dog to the biggest of beasts. I'm not afraid to get barked at or jumped on, and I am comfortable with all species of pets. Bring it on!

I love park trips and backyard time and will not ball at even the slobberiest of tennis balls. I'm also a regular runner, so if you have a high energy dog who would benefit from some exercise I'm happy to bring him/her along with me! On the weekends I like to get out of the city for some hiking, and often bring my dogsitting charges. Of course, all activities will be tailored to the dogs needs and owners preferences.
