Safety, trust & environment

I will be caring for animals at the owner's home as I do not have adequate spacing to house multiple animals. Creating a safe environment while caring for an animal in an owner's home involves several key steps such as: Comfortable Space: Provide a cozy space for the animal with their bed, toys, and access to food and water. Regular Check-ins: Regularly check on animals to ensure they are safe, healthy, and comfortable. Follow Owner's Instructions: Adhere to the owner's guidelines regarding feeding schedules, medication administration, and specific care instructions. Emergency Preparedness: Be prepared for emergencies by having contact information for the owner and the pet's veterinarian and knowing the nearest veterinary clinic. Secure Entrances and Exits: Ensure that doors and windows are safe to prevent the animal from escaping. Maintain Cleanliness: Keep the home clean by regularly cleaning up after the animals and ensuring their living area is hygienic.

Information Vanessa H. would like to know about your pet

Let me know if your animal has any special needs or medications Ahead of time so I know the proper care for your animal. I want to ensure every pet parent as well as furry friend recieves the treatment they deserve.

A typical day

We will play a bunch of games, go on a long walk and I will make sure they get their energy out before having to be returned home! .
