Understanding each pet's unique needs, preferences, and quirks is essential for providing the best possible care. Ahead of time, I'd love to learn about their daily routines, favorite activities, dietary requirements, medical history, and any behavior considerations. Additionally, knowing their comfort level with other animals, strangers, and various environments helps me tailor our interactions to ensure a positive and stress-free experience. Clear communication and open dialogue between pet parents and myself lay the foundation for a successful and enjoyable pet sitting experience for everyone involved.

A typical day with the pets I care for starts with a morning routine, where I ensure they're fed, have fresh water, and receive some loving attention. After breakfast, we head out for a walk along the beautiful San Diego coastline or a local park, allowing them to explore and socialize. Once we're back home, we engage in interactive playtime with their favorite toys, whether fetching a ball for dogs or enticing a cat with a feather wand. I also incorporate mental stimulation with puzzle toys or training sessions to reinforce basic commands or tricks. We enjoy quiet play indoors or sunbathing outside in the afternoon if the weather permits. As the day winds down, I ensure their evening meals are served on time, followed by another walk or play session to burn off any remaining energy. Finally, we settle in for some relaxing cuddle time before bedtime, ensuring they feel loved and secure.
