It is important to know key information about a pet ahead of time to ensure their safety, comfort, and proper care. This includes the pet’s daily routine, feeding schedule, dietary restrictions, allergies, medications, medical conditions, and veterinary contact information. I also ask about the pet’s temperament, behavior around people or other animals, triggers or fears, training level, and any special needs. Additionally, knowing emergency contacts, house rules, preferred activities, and any areas the pet should avoid helps me provide consistent, stress-free care.

The fun activities I do with the pets I watch are based on their age, energy level, and preferences. Activities may include walks or outdoor play, interactive games such as fetch or tug-of-war, enrichment toys and puzzles, basic training or practice of commands, and playtime that encourages both physical and mental stimulation. For pets that prefer calmer activities, I provide gentle play, brushing, cuddling, and companionship. I always focus on safe, positive, and enjoyable activities that help pets stay happy, engaged, and comfortable while in my care.
