Before I agree to care for your pet, I would love to meet them (and you!) and make sure we're a great fit. Things that are important for me to know are largely related to what their regular schedule is like. If you give treats and how often, typical meal times, when do they go for walks and how long, how often do they need to go out, how do they interact with other people or dogs if we go on walks, and do they have allergies or medications I should be aware of. Equally important as the basics and routines though, are the fun things! What does your dog or cat like to play with? Where do they like to go on walks or what are their favorite things? What are some fun things you would like me to do with them while you're away? Making sure your dog or cat is as happy and well loved when you're away as possible is my main goal!

Our neighborhood is very walkable and dog-friendly. I love exploring new areas by foot and getting to know the city first hand - so walking your dog is an ideal day! While getting in a quality long walk can be important sometimes smelling the roses is just as much so. Rest assured I love a good balance and will cater a walk to you and your dog’s preference. When caring for your cat, their comfort is the most important thing. Particularly for nervous or shy cats, I always give as much space and time as needed, making sure they feel safe with me until they get more comfortable. For the more playful and curious cats I’ll make sure to keep them entertained and happy! Both personality types (and all of those in between) are something I have experience with and I’m always happy to follow their lead.
