When house sitting, I prioritize creating a calm, predictable environment, especially for anxious or sensitive pets. I follow their routine closely, move at their pace, and use gentle, low-stress handling to help them feel safe and secure. For dogs, this includes walks, consistent feeding schedules, and reassuring companionship. For cats, I allow them to initiate interaction, maintain litter and feeding routines, and create a peaceful space where they can relax. I pay close attention to body language, appetite, and behavior changes, and I’m comfortable administering medications or following specific care instructions if needed. In my clients’ homes, I’m respectful, tidy, and safety-focused. I provide regular photo updates and clear communication so owners can feel confident their pets are calm, cared for, and in good hands.
