In my home, as well as when caring for pets in my client's home, safety, trust, and providing a secure environment are my top priorities. First and foremost, I ensure that the environment is pet-proofed. This means removing any potential hazards, like toxic plants or accessible cleaning supplies, and making sure there are no escape routes for pets. All electrical cords and items that could be chewed on are safely stowed away. My home is also equipped with cozy, designated pet areas, complete with comfy beds and plenty of toys. For clients' homes, I make sure to stick to the routine and environment the pets are accustomed to, minimizing stress during my visits. Trust is vital, and I establish it through consistency and open communication. I follow feeding and exercise schedules closely, and I provide daily updates and photos to reassure clients that their pets are happy and safe. For in-home pet care, I maintain the same level of trust by adhering to the established routines and following clients' instructions diligently. Ultimately, my goal is to create a safe, trustworthy, and loving environment for the pets I care for, ensuring their well-being and happiness whether it's in my home or theirs.
