When caring for a dog, it is important to gather relevant information ahead of time to ensure their well-being and safety. Some key details to know about a dog include: Medical History: It is crucial to be aware of any pre-existing medical conditions, allergies, or medications the dog may require. This information helps in providing appropriate care and addressing any health concerns that may arise. Behavior and Temperament: Understanding a dog's behavior, temperament, and any known triggers or fears is essential for creating a comfortable and stress-free environment. Feeding and Dietary Needs: Knowing the dog's regular diet, feeding schedule, portion sizes, and any dietary restrictions or preferences is vital for ensuring their nutritional needs are met and that they receive appropriate meals and treats. Exercise and Activity Level: Understanding the dog's exercise requirements and preferred activities helps in planning appropriate exercise routines and ensuring they receive adequate physical stimulation. Training and Commands: It is helpful to know if the dog is trained, familiar with specific commands, or has any behavioral training needs. It helps us to reinforce training efforts and maintain consistency with their established routines. Socialization and Interaction: Being aware of the dog's socialization history, including their comfort level with other dogs, humans, and different environments, helps in providing appropriate social interactions and avoiding potential conflicts. Emergency Contacts and Vet Information: Having emergency contact information for the dog's owner and their regular veterinarian ensures quick and efficient communication in case of any emergencies or health concerns.

A typical day in our pet care routine is filled with engaging activities and enriching experiences for the dogs we watch. We start the day by ensuring they are fed and provided with fresh water. Next, we engage them in fun activities tailored to their energy levels and preferences, such as playing fetch, tug-of-war, or going for a swim. We understand the importance of exercise, so we take them on stimulating walks to nearby parks, nature trails, or dog-friendly areas, where they can explore, socialize, and enjoy the fresh air. We also prioritize mental stimulation with interactive play to keep their minds sharp and engaged. Additionally, we make it a point to incorporate ample cuddle and relaxation time (our favorite), as we believe in providing a balance between physical activity and rest. Our goal is to ensure that the dogs we care for are happy, stimulated, and receive the attention and love they deserve.
