Safety, trust & environment
Safety First - I keep a close eye on pets at all times to prevent any accidents or escapes. I pet proof the home by removing dangerous objects, using baby gates, and ensuring windows/doors stay securely closed. Individualized Care - Each pet receives customized care based on their unique needs. I follow the owner's directions for feeding, walks, medication, playtime, and any other special instructions. Lots of Love! - I give pets plenty of affection, belly rubs, treats, and engage them in stimulating activities to keep their minds and bodies active. Pets always receive gentle, positive reinforcement training. Cleanliness - I pick up all pet messes promptly, dispose waste outside immediately, and thoroughly clean litter boxes, cages, bedding etc. I use pet-safe cleaners to maintain a fresh, hygienic environment. Communication - Owners receive photo/video updates and text messages so they feel involved and know their pet is doing great. I provide a full report card after each visit. Responsible Handling - I safely transport pets using crates/leashes. I'm trained in pet first aid and know how to handle medical emergencies if they arise. I'm passionate about making every pet feel loved, entertained, and comfortable - whether I'm caring for them in my home or theirs. Please let me know if you have any other questions!
