Before caring for a pet, I like to know their daily routine, feeding schedule, exercise needs, and any medical or behavioral considerations. It’s also helpful to know their temperament, energy level, likes and dislikes, and how they interact with other pets or people.

I love keeping pets active, happy, and engaged! Every pet has their own routine, and I always do my best to stick to what they’re used to. That said, here’s an example of what a typical day might look like when I’m pet sitting: We usually start the day between 6–7am with breakfast followed by a long morning walk. When we get back home, we’ll have some playtime before settling in for a mid-morning nap. Around 11am, we head back outside for more play and fresh air, and again around 2–3pm for another potty break and activity time. I also love incorporating interactive toys, enrichment puzzles, or lick mats to keep pets mentally stimulated throughout the day. Dinner is typically around 5–6pm, followed by another long evening walk. At night, pets get plenty of attention, cuddles, and relaxation time. Before bed (around 9–10pm), we go out one last time for a final potty break. My goal is always to make pets feel comfortable, exercised, and loved while keeping their routine as consistent as possible.
