Please let me know anything that helps me make your dog feel safe, comfortable, and happy while they’re with me! Some helpful things include: * Feeding schedule and portion sizes * Potty routine and walk preferences * Energy level (couch potato or tiny athlete?) * Any medications, allergies, or health concerns * Things they love (toys, treats, favorite words, belly rubs) * Things they dislike or are nervous around * How they do with strangers, other dogs, or being alone * Any training commands or house rules you’d like me to follow The more I know, the better I can match your dog’s routine and personality. I want them to feel like they’re on a fun little vacation instead of wondering where their human went.

A typical day with a dog in my care is very relaxed, structured, and centered around making them feel comfortable and loved. Since I work from home, I’m able to keep them company throughout the day instead of leaving them alone for long periods. With my own dog, our mornings usually start with potty time, breakfast, and a little outdoor time to wake up and burn some energy. During the workday, I make time for play breaks, walks, belly rubs, and check ins especially for dogs that like attention or reassurance throughout the day. I pay attention to each dog’s personality and energy level. Some dogs want to play nonstop, while others are happiest curled up next to me while I work. My dog personally loves rotating between “zoomies” and dramatic nap sessions, so I’m used to balancing playtime with calm downtime. In the evenings, we usually go for another walk or spend time outside before dinner and winding down for the night. I also make sure pet parents get updates and photos, because I know how important it is to know your dog is happy and doing well while you’re away.
