During a meet and greet, I like to get to know a general routine of what the animal's "normal" day involves, any medical concerns, special needs, behavioral issues (are they pullers on a leash? high energy? overstim cat? food reactive? mouthy etc.), special needs, veterinary contact information if you have it. Don't worry; I have a list of information and we go through it when we meet for the first time. I do not have any breed bias or discrimination and welcome all breeds. It's easier for me when clients are transparent about any issues because it helps me better tailor my time with your animal, as well as make sure that time is safe for him/her. The more I know about your animal(s), the better care I can provide! Most visits are based on a 30-minute timeframe, and we can talk about other options as well.

In general, we will walk in your neighborhood. We can discuss walks in other areas that would involve a car ride outside of your neighborhood if that is something you'd prefer. We can also discuss other activities (play times, fetch, dog parks, etc.) dependent upon factors such as if you have a fenced yard, dog temperament and triggers, etc. All is open to discussion! For cats, we will also attempt some play sessions or grooming/brushing time, or just hanging out if the cat(s) is interested. Sometimes people tend to think that cats are so self-sufficient that they don't require anything while their people are gone, but cats DO miss their people. The signals and body language are just more subtle. Of course, there are still those felines who prefer to keep to themselves no matter what situation comes up - and that's ok too!
