1. Are they playful, shy, or more independent? Do they have any fears or triggers (e.g., loud noises, other animals)? 2. Any medical conditions, medications, or dietary requirements that need special attention. 3. What commands or training do they already know, and are there any areas they need help with? 4. Do they require lots of physical activity, or are they more relaxed? How much exercise do they need? 5. Are they good with other animals or people, or do they need extra time and care in those situations? 6. What time do they eat, go for walks, or need playtime? Consistency in routine can make them feel secure. 7. Their favorite toys, activities, or anything that might stress them out. Knowing this helps avoid any discomfort.

A typical day with the pets I care for begins with a morning walk to get their energy flowing and enjoy some fresh air. We’ll explore the neighborhood or a nearby park, with lots of opportunities for sniffing, exploring, and maybe even a game of fetch. After that, I ensure they get their meals and some downtime, either lounging around or enjoying a quiet rest. Throughout the day, I love to keep things fun and stimulating. I’ll engage them in interactive play, like tug-of-war, puzzle toys, or training sessions to reinforce commands and offer mental stimulation. For active dogs, we may have a second walk or a play session in the yard. If the dog enjoys chasing, we can run around with a ball or try some fun games that challenge their agility. If there’s any special training or behavior work needed, I’ll take time to reinforce those positive behaviors with patience and rewards. As the day winds down, there’s always time for snuggles, belly rubs, or simply relaxing together to create a calm and peaceful evening. Whether it's playful activities or just a quiet moment, each pet’s individual needs and personality shape our day.
