When caring for pets in a client’s home, I prioritize creating a calm and familiar environment by following the pet’s routine as closely as possible. I pay close attention to body language and other cues to understand how the pet is feeling, and I give them the space or affection they need based on their comfort level. I know that trust takes time, especially with animals, and I’m always patient, gentle, and respectful of their boundaries. My goal is to make each pet feel safe, seen, and cared for while their family is away.

For the pets I watch, I make sure to provide a variety of fun and engaging activities based on their personality and energy level. For cats, I’ll use interactive toys like feather wands, laser pointers, or balls to keep them active and entertained. For more energetic pets, I’ll go on walks, play fetch, or have a mini play session to burn off some energy. I also make time for quiet activities like snuggles, brushing, or just sitting with them to build trust and offer comfort. My goal is to keep each pet happy, engaged, and relaxed while they’re in my care!
