Please share the following physical and emotional needs of each pet via Rover: allergies, likes and dislikes with respect to food, human touch, interactions with others, triggers i.e. loud sounds, activity/feeding/potty/crating/medication schedule(s), veterinarian info, a local emergency contact, and anything else you think wise for a petsitter to know. Scheduling a meet-and-greet at your home prior to booking ensures that we are a good fit and sets up your pet for a successful and positive petsitting experience. Any house and neighborhood details and tasks for me to take note of include any of the following: “no-no” pet areas in and outside of the home, trail maps for pups, mail pick-up, garbage day, automated devices i.e. kibble dispensers, lights, digital thermostats, sprinklers, Roombas, security keypads and/or cameras, and scheduled maintenance i.e. gardeners or grocery delivery.

Every pet is unique; what we do together relies heavily on parental input. That said, a typical visit will likely include a customized walk, engaged playtime, and lots of loving (if your furry child is into that sort of thing). Sharing your pet's favorite toys and activities, places to walk, location of treats, water/food refills, leashes, poop bag refills and disposal, trash bags, towels, wet wipes, etc. will optimize quality time. As a detail-oriented petsitter and an intuitive listener, I keep owners informed with a daily afternoon/evening update, including pet photo(s), via Rover. For multiple-dog families, I am happy to leash-walk each of your dogs one at a time for safety reasons for pets and people (exceptions made for small breeds that walk well on leash). Also, let me know if your dog likes car rides, dog parks, or interacting with other dogs/animals; should these be a source of anxiety for your pup, please let me know in advance.
