Before caring for your pet, it’s really helpful to know their daily routine, personality, and any special needs. That includes: • Feeding schedule and dietary restrictions • Medical needs or medications • Temperament (e.g. shy, energetic, reactive, cuddly, etc.) • How they are around new people, other animals, or on walks • Any fears, triggers, or behavioral quirks I should be aware of • Preferred toys, activities, or calming techniques • House rules (couch access, crate use, etc.) The more I know up front, the better I can keep your pet comfortable, safe, and happy — and give you peace of mind while you’re away.

A typical day of pet sitting starts with a morning check-in or feeding, making sure your pet is well-fed, has fresh water, and gets some attention or exercise to start the day right. For dogs, that usually means a walk or some outdoor playtime. For cats, it might be some gentle play, brushing, or just companionship while they do their thing. Throughout the day, I stick to your pet’s routine — whether that means scheduled walks, potty breaks, meals, medications, or simply quality time. I also make sure the home stays clean and comfortable, especially around litter boxes, food areas, and bedding. Evenings usually include another walk or play session, dinner, and winding down with calm attention. I send updates and photos regularly, so you always know how your pet is doing. Each pet is different, so I adapt the day around their energy levels, preferences, and needs — giving them a loving and consistent presence while you’re away.
