It’s helpful to know your pet’s daily routine, any specific feeding instructions, medical needs, or behaviors I should be aware of. Let me know if your pet has any quirks, triggers, or preferences, like favorite toys, words they respond to, or things they dislike. If your dog has a walking schedule or your cat prefers quiet spaces, I’ll do my best to match their comfort level. I also appreciate knowing emergency contact information, your vet’s details, and anything else that will help me provide the best possible care while you are away.

A typical fun day with cats and dogs starts with morning snuggles and a calm check-in to make sure everyone is feeling good. For dogs, we’d head out for a nice stroll, getting in some exercise, fresh air, and maybe a few friendly sniff breaks. Breakfast comes next, then it’s playtime. Tug-of-war, fetch, or chasing toys around the yard are all on the menu. Meanwhile, the cats get some one-on-one time with feather wands, toy mice, or just a cozy lap to curl up on while I brush them or give them gentle attention. Throughout the day, I make sure everyone stays hydrated, relaxed, and stimulated. Midday can be nap time in a sunny spot for the cats while the dogs lounge or enjoy a puzzle toy to keep their minds active. In the afternoon, we might have a quiet moment, belly rubs, chin scratches, or a good brushing session depending on what they enjoy. I always make sure to follow their routines and preferences so they feel safe, happy, and loved until their favorite humans come home.
