Indoor Home Safety Basics
Keeping the inside of a client's home safe protects both the pet and their trust in you.
✓Indoor Safety Checklist
- Confirm all doors and windows are locked before you leave
- Keep cleaning supplies, medications, and small objects out of a pet's reach
- Check that trash cans and food storage are secured, especially with dogs prone to counter-surfing
- Watch for loose cords, open flames (candles), or anything a curious pet could knock over
If you ever arrive and something seems genuinely wrong, such as signs of a break-in, don't go inside — contact the client and local authorities first. Your safety comes before finishing the visit.
