Before caring for a pet, it’s important that I know their basic information (name, age, breed, temperament), daily routine, and house rules so I can keep things consistent and stress-free. I should understand their feeding schedule, food type, portion sizes, treat rules, and any allergies or sensitivities, as well as their bathroom habits, potty schedule, and any accident history. Health and safety details are especially important, including medical conditions, medications with exact instructions, signs of illness to watch for, the pet’s veterinarian and emergency clinic, and what to do in case of an emergency. I will also want to know about their behavior and personality—how they interact with people, children, and other animals, any triggers or anxieties, and whether they have a history of aggression. Exercise and enrichment needs, such as energy level, walk preferences, favorite toys, and play style, should be clear, along with sleeping arrangements, crate or free-roam expectations, and comfort items. Finally, make sure I have the owner’s contact information, an emergency backup contact, safety concerns like escape risks or off-limit areas, and any special quirks or routines that help the pet feel calm and secure. 🐾

A typical day with me is all about keeping your pets happy, comfortable, and loved. We start the day with potty breaks, breakfast, and some gentle playtime or a walk to burn off morning energy. Throughout the day, I stick closely to your pet’s routine—feeding schedules, medications if needed, naps, and plenty of cuddles. I make sure they get lots of attention, supervision, and calm downtime so they feel safe and at home. Evenings usually include another walk or play session, dinner, and cozy time before bed.
