We will go over a lot of information during the meet and greet including but not limited to feeding, sleeping, potty, and walking schedules. If your pet needs medications please let me know, I have given cats and dogs meds many times, I am familiar with oral medication, topicals on the skin, ear drops, and eye drops. * I am unable to administer injections. * I know things happen and pets have accidents, if your pet suddenly needs something extra while I am staying that we did not discuss during the meet and greet please message me so we can go over it as soon as possible prior to the stay. Be sure anything you want your pet to have while I am caring for them is available to me, this includes food, medications, treats, toys and anything else you can think of. Your pet’s safety is my number one priority, I absolutely need to know if your pets will try to escape the backyard or bolt out the front door, I will do supervised potty breaks if necessary and I grew up with front door escape artists so we can discuss what I do to prevent that or if you have an alternative way in the house like a garage or side entrance. I like to be aware of chewers, "everything eaters" or counter surfers. I ask that doors are shut to anywhere in the house pets are not allowed to be while you are away, but I will want to know where to double check they can’t get in. Walks and Weather: If your dog wants to walk, I will walk rain, snow, or shine. I will not take your dog out in extreme weather conditions, no thunder/lightning storms, no hailstorms, no blizzards, and no extreme heat or cold, (>85 or <25). Other Questions: Are pets allowed on the furniture? Do they sleep in the bed with you? Are they kenneled while home alone or at night? If there is a pet door, do you close it up at night or do you keep it open for them? How many hours are they ok by themselves/ between potty breaks? How long/far do they go on walks? Are they reactive to people or other animals in the neighborhood? Are they treat motivated and are you ok with me using food as a motivator on walks? ***Please do not schedule other people to come to the house while I am there. Weekly/ bi-weekly housekeepers or lawn care is ok but please no contractors, electricians or plumbers, etc. (Unless it is an emergency and please let me before the booking).

Animals are the most entertaining creatures on this planet, and I love that I get to hang out with them on a daily basis. I enjoy going on walks myself so if your pet does too, we will be best friends the first day I get there. I will walk them in the neighborhood or take them to a trail. I am happy to play with them anytime of the day, if they like toys, fetch, or if they have their own thing. Then when your pet is ready to relax and cuddle on the couch, I’ll be there for them. DOG PARKS: I require a dog to have been going to the same dog park with other dogs for at least 3-6 months or more before I will take them myself, the dog must have good recall for me take them off leash, if you are unsure or haven’t tried this before with someone else, we can do it together in a meet up or I will be happy to just walk them on leash in the neighborhood.
