Before your dog stays with me, it’s helpful to know a few key things so I can give them the best care possible: • Any behavioral issues (reactivity, aggression, separation anxiety, resource guarding, etc.) • Crate training experience – Are they comfortable in a crate, or will we need to work on that? • Feeding schedule and dietary needs – Including allergies or medications • Socialization history – Are they okay around other dogs or people? • Energy level and how they like to exercise • Previous training – What commands they know or what you’re currently working on • Any fears or sensitivities – Like loud noises, being handled, or specific triggers • Vet info and emergency contact The more I know up front, the better I can create a safe, structured, and fulfilling experience for your dog!

I believe a fulfilled dog is a happy dog! While staying with me, your pup will enjoy a mix of structured activities and fun downtime. Some of the things I do with the dogs I watch include: • Structured walks to practice leash manners and burn energy • Playtime in the backyard, including fetch, tug, or just exploring safely • Basic obedience training to reinforce good manners and keep their minds engaged • Crate rest and downtime for proper balance and decompression • Confidence-building games and exposure to different environments • For social dogs, supervised group play or parallel walks Every dog is different, so I tailor the activities to their energy level, personality, and training goals. Whether they need calm structure or high-energy fun, I make sure their day is both enjoyable and enriching!
