The Familiar Care Starter Kit
Choose care thoughtfully, write down what normal looks like, and prepare for the first visit. Made for pet owners in Bethany and Rock Creek—and useful wherever you live.
Before anyone enters your home
Good care starts with clear information.
This kit helps you ask better questions before choosing a caregiver, then write down the ordinary details that are easy to forget: where the leash lives, what a normal walk looks like, which sound makes your dog nervous, and when you expect a call.
Keep sensitive details offline
Do not email or submit door codes, alarm information, key locations, medical records, or payment details through a public form. Share them directly using the method you and the caregiver agree on.
What is inside
One kit for choosing, planning, and handing off care.
Six printable pages take you from the first conversation to a concise brief your caregiver can use during the visit.

A useful sample
Three details that are often missed.
What counts as unusual?
Write down the normal baseline for appetite, energy, mobility, and bathroom habits so a caregiver knows what deserves attention.
Who else may appear?
Tell the caregiver about cameras, contractors, relatives, neighbors, or anyone expected during the care window.
When should Henna call?
Agree on which changes need an immediate call, who the local backup is, and what to do if you cannot be reached.
Ready to talk?
Turn the plan into a familiar routine.
Henna currently provides recurring dog walks, drop-in visits, and patient senior routines in Bethany and Rock Creek. Share your neighborhood and schedule to see whether the route is a fit.
