Information Wendy R. would like to know about your pet

House Rules: Each home has its own set of rules. Knowing what the pet is allowed to do (e.g., furniture access, where they sleep) helps maintain consistency. Behavioral Issues: Any known behavioral concerns, such as separation anxiety or barking, should be discussed to prepare you for managing these situations. Dietary Needs: Understanding any specific dietary restrictions, allergies, or feeding schedules is crucial to ensure their pet's health. Medical Conditions: Any existing health issues or medications that need to be administered should be noted to provide proper care. Exercise Requirements: Every pet has different energy levels. Some may require more exercise than others, so it’s good to know their usual routine.

A typical day

Imagine a typical morning when I arrive at your home to take care of your pet. After a friendly greeting, we go for an our walk, allowing your dog to explore the neighborhood while I keep them safe, ensuring there are treats too. Throughout the day, I play with your pet and send you regular updates, making sure they feel comfortable and happy until you come home.

Wendy was great with our cats. She was consistent with her visits and updates. We loved the photos she sent. We could tell they had fun with here when we came home because one of them brought his wand to us to play with.
