Tell the carer what feels like your animal: the pace, the familiar cues and the little things that make a day easier. Your local note is a starting point for the actual introduction.
Useful things to share.
Their rhythm
When they usually eat, rest and go out, and what changes when you are away.
Their way with the world
How they respond to people, animals, noise and unfamiliar places. Describe observations rather than a label.
The practical things
Broad area, the care you are considering and questions for the provider. Share private access details only through the agreed process.
Your introduction field note.
Do not enter door codes, key locations or private medical records here. Discuss any care needs directly with the provider.
