I am happy to watch any and all types of dogs! I have experience watching dogs of various ages, sizes, and physical capacities. Basic things I'd like to know: What are your dog's favorite activities? Is your dog allowed on furniture/beds? Does your dog have any special needs? What is your dog's feeding schedule? For safety reasons I'd like to know: How does your dog handle on a leash? Does your dog have any triggers that should be avoided? What is the best way to calm your dog or regain his/her attention?

When visiting my home: Whether your dog is active or infirm, s/he will be pampered just as if they were at home. Depending on owner preferences, I'll happily give Fido a chew toy or treat, let him/her lounge around on the couch or extra dog beds, and give their favorite places scratches, rubs, and pats. For high-energy dogs, run of the mill activities will include taking walks, throwing balls and tugging on toys; balanced by quality rest and recovery. **I recommend bringing something familiar from home that will provide him/her an extra layer of comfort and familiarity. ** When visiting your home: Whether I am visiting for a walk, a check-in, or an overnight I will love your dog(s) as if they were my own, while still respecting any house rules you have established with your pet. Your pet will receive his/her normal regime for meals, exercise, and companionship. For 30-minute visits (walks or drop-ins) every minute will be spent attending to your canine companion. For house sitting, your dog will be my top priority; we can discuss specifics regarding sleeping arrangements or visiting every 2-4 hours further.
