Why Your Pet Résumé Matters: Setting Your Pet Up for Success

When it comes to caring for your pet, one size does not fit all. Every dog has their own personality, preferences, medical history, and comfort level — and that’s exactly why a detailed Pet Résumé is so important.

At All Pets Sitting, the Pet Résumé isn’t just paperwork. It’s a vital tool that helps us provide safer, more personalized, and more compassionate care for every pet entrusted to us.

What Is a Pet Résumé?

A Pet Résumé is a comprehensive profile that gives caregivers a clear picture of your pet before services begin. It goes beyond basic information and helps us understand:

• Your pet’s routine and temperament

• Medical history and sensitivities

• Behavioral quirks or triggers

• Grooming preferences and handling needs

• Emergency contacts and veterinary information

This allows us to care for your pet as an individual, not just another name on the schedule.

Why It Matters for Your Pet’s Safety

Accurate information can prevent avoidable stress, discomfort, or medical issues. Knowing details such as allergies, mobility limitations, or past injuries allows us to:

• Adjust handling and activity levels

• Use appropriate grooming products

• Monitor for early signs of discomfort or flare-ups

• Respond quickly and appropriately if concerns arise

The more we know, the better we can protect your pet’s well-being.

Supporting Pets with Allergies or Sensitivities

For pets with allergies or skin sensitivities, the Pet Résumé is especially critical. Information about food sensitivities, recurring ear infections, hot spots, or environmental allergies helps us:

• Avoid known triggers

• Watch closely for itching or irritation

• Communicate changes to pet parents promptly

• Provide allergy-aware care during grooming, boarding, or training

This proactive approach can make a big difference in your pet’s comfort.

Reducing Stress and Building Trust

Pets thrive on predictability. When we understand what makes your pet feel safe — whether that’s slow introductions, specific handling preferences, or comfort items — we can create a calmer, more positive experience.

A detailed Pet Résumé helps:

• Reduce anxiety

• Improve cooperation during care

• Create consistency across visits

• Build trust between your pet and their caregivers

Why Accuracy and Updates Are Important

Pets change over time. New medications, aging joints, dietary changes, or behavioral shifts all matter. Keeping your Pet Résumé up to date ensures we’re always working with the most accurate information.

We encourage pet parents to update their résumé whenever there’s a change — even if it seems small.

Our Commitment to Personalized Care

At All Pets Sitting, we believe exceptional care starts with communication. The Pet Résumé allows us to partner with pet parents, anticipate needs, and provide thoughtful, individualized care — whether your pet is with us for grooming, boarding, or training.

Taking a few extra minutes to complete your Pet Résumé helps us give your pet the safest, most comfortable experience possible — and that peace of mind is priceless.
