Please let me know if your pet has any special needs, medical conditions, or specific behaviors that would be important for my visit, such as if they pull on a leash, are reactive to certain triggers, or if they always have treats after a walk, for example. I would also love to know more about their daily routine and any favorite activities or toys, so that I can best take care of your pet and make sure they get the best care possible while you're away!!

On a typical day for a dog walk or visit, we always start out by gearing up with a harness or collar and leash, and go out for a walk around the neighborhood, always letting the pet guide me to their favorite sniffing spots around town. Depending on their energy level, we could take it slow or hit the town with some running on the trains! Sometimes, depending on the owner's preference, i'll bring some small training treats along with me to encourage good behaviors. When we get back, I always make sure the pet has the opportunity to cool down (especially with the warm summers) and have some water, and a 'good job' treat if allowed! And of course, no visit would be complete without some pets and snuggles if they're feeling up for it!! Cat behavior tends to be much more variable from pet to pet, so a visit with a cat can heavily depend on the pet's demeanor! Nonetheless, I'll always primarily make sure that the cat has ample water available and food placed out according to their daily routine. For a more playful cat, we can enjoy some interactive playtime with toys to keep them mentally stimulated. For a more affectionate cat, I would opt for a more low-energy cozy session with lots of pets! And of course, for the cat that just likes to stare, we can just sit there too, so they know they're not alone!! Throughout the day I always make sure to respect their independence, something I find so important to a lot of cats, but ensure that their needs are taken care of and that they feel most comfortable.
