I always like to have a meet-and-greet before any booking to get to know the dog and the owner. It is about 30 minutes. During this time, I gather information about the dog’s routine and health. It’s important for me to know if something makes them anxious and what helps them relax. Lastly, I need to understand their behavior around other dogs, both male and female, to ensure safe play.

A typical day with a guest dog in my home is all about care, comfort, and activities tailored to their needs. In the morning, we start with a walk around the neighborhood or a nearby park, where the dog can stretch, sniff, and enjoy the fresh air. After that, we return home for breakfast and some rest. If the dog needs training or mental stimulation, we spend some time playing or practicing basic commands. During the day, there is plenty of space to relax, either in the living room or on the large, safe balcony, depending on the weather. If the dog is social, they can enjoy my company, or they can simply rest in their own spot. In the afternoon, we go for another walk or play outside to release energy. In the evening, it’s time to relax. If the dog is used to a crate, I can easily accommodate that. Otherwise, they can find a cozy spot to rest in a warm and welcoming environment. Every dog is different, so I adjust the routine based on their needs, always focusing on comfort, safety, and love.
