Schedule

Pet care is already a regular part of my daily routine. I structure my schedule to ensure pets receive consistent attention, exercise, feeding, and companionship. I have a flexible schedule that allows me to accommodate walks, drop-in visits, and pet sitting while giving each pet the time and care they deserve.

Safety, trust & environment

I follow each pet’s normal routine as closely as possible to help them feel comfortable and reduce stress. This includes feeding schedules, fresh water, walks, exercise, playtime, medications (if needed and instructed), and plenty of attention and companionship. In a client’s home, I treat their space with respect and provide regular updates and photos so they can have peace of mind while they’re away. My goal is to ensure every pet feels safe, comfortable, and cared for as if they were my own.

A typical day

Every pet is different, so I tailor activities to their age, energy level, and personality. For active dogs, I enjoy walks, games of fetch, tug-of-war, and outdoor play. For older pets or those with lower energy, I focus on gentle walks, companionship, and plenty of attention. I also enjoy interactive toys, basic reinforcement of commands and good behavior, and making sure pets get the physical and mental stimulation they need while staying safe and comfortable.

Before caring for a pet, I like to know their daily routine, feeding schedule, exercise needs, medications, favorite activities, and any behavioral quirks or triggers. I also like to know how they interact with other people, pets, and unfamiliar situations. Understanding these details helps me provide the safest, most comfortable, and personalized care possible while keeping your pet’s routine consistent.
