I offer both drop-in visits and walks, and I can care for pets in your home. Here's how I handle each part of it. In your home. I treat your space the way I'd want mine treated. I arrive when I say I will, and I leave things where I found them — doors locked, lights as you left them, trash taken out if you asked. I'll happily follow a written routine posted on the fridge, and I always text when I arrive and when I leave so you're never wondering whether someone showed up. Around your pets. I keep to your pet's normal food, portions, and schedule rather than improvising. I don't introduce new treats, new food, or new people without asking you first. If your dog is nervous with strangers, I'll take the first visit slowly — sitting on the floor, letting them come to me, no forcing. Same with cats: some need a week before they'll eat in front of you, and that's fine. Walks and outings. Every dog goes out on a properly fitted collar or harness and a leash I check before we leave. I keep dogs away from other dogs unless you've told me they're friendly, and I avoid busy roads, hot pavement, and unfamiliar off-leash areas. In warm weather I test the asphalt with my hand before we walk on it — if it's too hot for me to hold, it's too hot for paws. Health and emergencies. I ask for your vet's name and number, an emergency clinic, and a reachable contact before the first booking. If something serious happens, I get your pet care first, then call you — and I won't hesitate to go straight to a vet or ER if waiting seems wrong.

Every day starts the same way: I learn your pet's routine before I meet them, then run their day the way they're used to it. The fun comes inside that structure, not instead of it. Morning visits. Dogs get out early, while the sidewalks are still cool and quiet. We walk a route your dog knows, and I let them stop and sniff — that's how a dog reads the news. For high-energy dogs I'll add a short run or a game of fetch if there's a safe spot. Back inside: fresh water, breakfast on your schedule, and a wipe-down if it's been wet or muddy. For cats, the morning is about the basics done well — fresh food and water, a clean litter box, and a few minutes of play before I go. id-day and evening. Mid-day is a bathroom break and a stretch, or a walk if we've set that up. Evenings are the best time for the fun stuff — a longer walk, a game session, or just hanging out while your pet does whatever they enjoy. Senior dogs set the pace themselves: a slow sniff-heavy stroll and gentle brushing are their version of a great day. Before bed. A final walk, water topped up, lights checked, and one more bit of attention — a few minutes of petting or a last round of play for a cat who's just waking up for the night shift. Updates. You'll get photos and a short note each visit, so you see the fun rather than just hearing that it happened. Tell me one or two things your pet genuinely loves — the specific toy, the specific game, the weird thing that makes them lose their mind — and I'll build the day around those.
