Information Arabelle Ilona V. would like to know about your pet

Behavior, what it likes and dislikes. Does it have a tendency to bite. How does it react, if somebody takes the toys away. Is the pet friendly to other dogs, cats, and strangers. What commands the pet understands! Does it get anxious, when the owner is not present. Information of medical issues and contact information from the local vet!

A typical day

I have fun playing with the dogs and their toys, especially out doors in the fresh air! I prefer to walk on nature trails, on dog parks, if the owner is ok with this and areas they are familiar with the dogs and walks in their neighborhoods. Also, I like to walk on beaches! What I do no like, is walking on streets!! When it comes to take care for cats, I cannot wait to listen to their purring and I am happy, when they want to jump on my sofa, bed or my lap!!

Another wonderful stay! She is perfect with midnight and really puts us at ease when away from our pup!

Arabelle was incredible! She took such attentive care of midnight, and updated often! The place was in immaculate condition when we returned, which is more than I could ask for. She became midnights best friend for a few days, and I couldn’t ask for a better dog sitter, I will definitely book again!!
