Before sitting or walking, it’s really helpful for me to know about your pet’s personality and temperament — whether they’re shy or outgoing, high-energy or more laid-back. I’ll also need details on their health and any special requirements like medication or allergies, plus their usual feeding routine and exercise needs. If they know certain commands or have behaviour quirks (like pulling on the leash, not liking bikes, or being nervous around other animals), that’s important too. Lastly, it’s great to know household rules such as whether they’re allowed on furniture, as well as your vet contact information in case of an emergency.

When I’m with your dog, we’ll tailor activities to their personality and energy level. That could mean long walks, quick potty breaks, or fun play sessions like fetch or tug-of-war. If your dog enjoys company, I’m also experienced with walking more than one at a time. I’m happy to reinforce training commands, provide plenty of cuddles, or just keep them relaxed and comfortable at home. Of course, I’ll make sure they have fresh water, their meals on time, and any medications they need. With cats, I love to adapt to their unique style of companionship. For playful cats, I’ll bring out toys like feather wands or lasers to keep them active and entertained. For those who prefer grooming or cuddles, I’m just as happy to brush them or provide lap time. And for the more independent ones, I’ll be a calm presence in the background, making sure they feel safe and cared for. Along the way, I’ll keep up with feeding, fresh water, litter box cleaning, and any special care they need.
