It’s super helpful to know about their daily routine—meal times, walking schedules, play preferences, and where they like to relax. I also like to ask about any specific rules you have at home, so I can keep up the boundaries and habits your pet is used to. If your pet has any medical needs, special diets, or behavioral quirks, that’s really important for me to know ahead of time. Whether it’s giving medication, avoiding certain triggers, or just knowing how they like to be approached, I always want to respect their individual needs and comfort zones.

Since every animal has their unique personalities and quirks, I try to match their enrgy and personality and, most importantly, routine!. For cats, that might mean a mix of quiet cuddle time, interactive play with their favorite toys, or even a little treat hunt around the house to keep them mentally stimulated. For dogs, we’ll go on their usual walks—whether it’s a relaxed stroll around the block or a more energetic outing if they need to burn off some zoomies. I always make time for play, whether that’s fetch, tug-of-war, or just rolling around in the grass. I also try to stick as closely as I can to their routine—meal times, treats, bathroom breaks, and rest—so they feel secure and settled.
