I could not have asked for a better doggy sitter for my butter than Yam! She has a natural ability to connect with animals and it’s so obvious. She cared so well for my dog and it reassured me while I was on vacation. She is dependable and trustworthy. Would book her every time! Thank you!

Absolutely! Knowing important details about a pet ahead of time ensures that you can provide the best possible care while keeping the pet safe and happy. Here’s a list of key things to know about a pet before watching them:
Important Information to Know About Their Pets
1. Basic Information
Pet’s Name: Helps build trust and makes them feel more comfortable.
Breed and Size: Different breeds often have specific care needs and temperaments.
Age: Knowing if the pet is a puppy/kitten, adult, or senior will determine their activity level and care requirements.
2. Health and Medical Needs
Vaccinations: Are they up-to-date on vaccinations? (Especially important for dog park visits or interaction with other animals.)
Medical Conditions: Any known allergies, illnesses, or chronic conditions like arthritis, diabetes, or seizures?
Medications: Do they take any medications? If so, what’s the schedule and method for administering them?
Dietary Restrictions: Are there specific foods or treats they can’t have?
Emergency Vet Info: The contact details for their vet and any emergency numbers you might need.
3. Behavior and Temperament
Temperament: Are they shy, anxious, energetic, or social? Understanding their personality helps you approach them appropriately.
Aggression or Fears: Do they have any triggers (e.g., loud noises, certain types of people/animals, or being touched in specific areas)?
Interaction with Other Animals: Are they comfortable around other pets, or should they be kept separate?
Stranger Anxiety: Are they wary of new people or situations, and how should you handle introductions?
4. Daily Routine
Feeding Schedule: What time and how much do they eat? Any special instructions for food preparation?
Bathroom Routine: How often do they need potty breaks? If it’s a cat, when was their litter box last cleaned?
Exercise Needs: How much activity do they require? Are they used to long walks, short bursts of play, or low-energy activities?
Sleep Routine: Where do they sleep? Do they need a crate, bed, or specific location to feel secure?
5. Favorite Activities and Toys
Favorite Games: Do they love fetch, tug-of-war, or specific puzzle toys?
Preferred Toys: Knowing which toys they enjoy can make playtime more engaging.
Enrichment Needs: Do they like mental challenges like treat-dispensing toys or sniffing games?
6. Training and Commands
Training Level: Are they potty trained? Do they follow basic commands like "sit," "stay," or "leave it"?
Command Words: Pets may know specific phrases for things like “walk,” “treat,” or “bedtime.” Knowing these helps maintain consistency.
Behavioral Issues: Do they jump, chew, bark excessively, or have other habits you should be aware of?
7. Safety and Security
Leash and Collar: Are they leash-trained? Is their collar secure, and does it have ID tags with their name and owner’s contact info?
Escape Risks: Are they known to bolt out the door, dig under fences, or climb out of enclosures?
Home Environment: Are there specific areas they are not allowed in? Do they have a favorite hiding spot or place to relax?
8. Owner’s Preferences
House Rules: Are pets allowed on furniture or beds? Are there areas off-limits in the house?
Grooming Needs: Do they need brushing, baths, or nail trims during your time with them?
Special Requests: Does the owner have any specific instructions, like training reinforcement or how to handle certain behaviors?
Beforehand Checklist
To make sure you're fully prepared, you can create a checklist to review with the owner:
Emergency contacts and vet info
Feeding and medication schedule
Daily routine and activity level
Known behaviors, fears, and quirks
House rules and boundaries
Favorite toys or games
Instructions for handling emergencies
