Prior to our Meet and Greet, please be ready to share details about your pet’s typical behavior, medical history, exact feeding and medication routines, and any known triggers or fears so I can provide the absolute best care possible. To ensure a smooth, safe experience for everyone, I require a Meet and Greet before confirming any new bookings. This is a non-negotiable step to make sure our dogs get along and that your pet feels completely confident and comfortable with me in their space. My goal is to prevent any "hiccups" and ensure everyone is set up for success! Animals can be unpredictable when their owners aren’t around, and their needs can change from day to day—just like humans. Some days they might have lower energy and just want to rest. I practice force-free, choice-based care and will NEVER force an animal to participate in a walk or an activity if they aren't feeling up to it. Comfort, safety, and happiness come first. Sometimes an animal just needs a little extra space to feel safe, even if we played beautifully the day before, and I completely respect those boundaries.

I don't believe in a one-size-fits-all approach. Instead, I focus on a balanced rhythm of activity, mental work, and structured rest. I prioritize quality over quantity—whether that’s a focused walk, a game of fetch, or a "sniffari" to burn off mental energy, I tailor the output to your dog's age and fitness level. My goal is to return a dog to you that is physically satisfied, mentally relaxed, and happy. Here is how that looks for both services: Drop-In Visits: — Every visit includes a thorough rinse and refresh of all water bowls. I strictly adhere to your exact feeding schedules. — Activities depend on our booked time and can include a fun walk, backyard fetch, or any physical activity your pup prefers. — To mix things up, I love bringing mental enrichment games with your permission (and a few extra treats). Believe it or not, these brain games can tire a pup out just as much as a long walk! Boarding Clients: — Mornings: A fresh potty break followed by a separated breakfast. For safety, I have all dogs rest immediately after eating to prevent stomach issues or bloat. Once breakfast has settled, we head out for a morning walk or backyard playtime. — Midday: The afternoon is dedicated to decompression. Dogs can choose to rest comfortably or enjoy indoor toy play. If they are up for it, this is when we dive into mental enrichment games. — Evening: Depending on their energy, we can go for another walk, play outside, or hang out on the couch. Dinner is a separated meal followed by another vital digestion rest period. Afterward, we wind down the day with one final potty break before a peaceful night in their kennel or designated sleeping area.
