Dear Jass,

I hope this message finds you in good health. I appreciate your willingness to take care of my house and dog during my absence. It allows me to fully enjoy my holiday without any worries.

I will be in the USA, so my Canadian phone number will not be active there. You can reach me via WhatsApp or Snapchat in case of any necessity. For emergencies, please contact my cousin in the USA at 676-000-8888.

My dog, Bruno, is very dear to me. You can locate his food in the upper kitchen cabinet along with his feeding schedule on the fridge. Feel free to take him for a walk in the evening as he enjoys playing in the nearby park, which is just 20 meters away.

In addition to caring for Bruno, there are a few household tasks to attend to. Please remember to move the garbage bins from the garage on Sunday evenings for the early Monday waste collection. Also, ensure to open the shades during the day and close them at night as a safety measure against potential break-ins by thieves scouting for unattended houses in the area.

I am truly grateful for your help on such short notice. Looking forward to catching up with you soon!

Warm regards,

Param
