Safety, trust & environment
I always make sure my dogs are on a leash since we don’t have a fenced in yard, I always keep a close eye on the dogs and make sure they can’t get off the leash or if a client does have a fence they can’t get out of it somewhere

Yes, it’s crucial to know as much as possible about the pets before I begin caring for them. This helps ensure their safety, comfort, and happiness while their owners are away. Here’s a list of important details to gather ahead of time:
1. Health & Medical Information:
• Dietary Needs: What food they eat, portion sizes, and any allergies or food sensitivities.
• Medications: Any medications they take, including dosage and schedule.
• Health Conditions: Any chronic conditions, medical history, or special care they need (e.g., joint issues, vision impairment).
• Emergency Contact Info: The owner’s contact details, as well as the vet’s contact info and location in case of an emergency.
2. Behavior & Personality:
• Temperament: Whether the pet is shy, outgoing, anxious, or friendly toward other animals or strangers.
• Likes & Dislikes: What they enjoy (favorite toys, games, walks) and what they dislike (loud noises, certain types of play).
• Routine: Their typical daily routine—when they eat, sleep, and are most active. Any special rituals (like getting a treat after a walk).
• Training: Whether they have any specific training (e.g., sit, stay, potty training) or behavioral quirks that I should be aware of.
3. Exercise Needs:
• Walks & Playtime: How much physical activity they need, whether they enjoy long walks, short strolls, or just indoor play.
• Energy Levels: High-energy pets may need more frequent exercise, while older pets might prefer calmer activities.
4. Pet Care Setup:
• Feeding & Sleeping Areas: Where they sleep, where food and water bowls are kept, and how to access these areas.
• Toys & Entertainment: What types of toys they prefer (e.g., squeaky toys for dogs, feather wands for cats).
• Cage Setup: If the pet is a small animal (hamster, rabbit, guinea pig), understanding how their habitat is set up and how to clean it properly.
5. Behavioral Triggers:
• Fear or Anxiety Triggers: Loud noises, certain people, or events that might make the pet anxious.
• Socialization: Whether the pet interacts well with other animals or people, or if they should be kept isolated.
• Signs of Stress: Understanding how to spot if the pet is stressed, anxious, or unwell, so I can address it promptly.
Having this detailed knowledge helps me tailor my care and ensures the pets are safe, comfortable, and happy while their owners are away. It also fosters trust and communication between me and the pet owners.
