Before bringing a new furry friend home, it’s a good idea to ask about their feeding schedule, medications, vet contacts, and any allergies or triggers. Also, learn about their exercise needs, favorite toys, and house rules. And to have an emergency plan in case something goes wrong. A trial run with the owner can help me get a better idea of their habits, and having written instructions ensures a smooth and safe experience for both you and the pet.

How about some fun activities for your furry friend? They’ll love playing fetch or tug-of-war. Or, i can take them on a sniffari and let them explore new smells on a walk. Puzzle toys are also great for challenging their brains. If your dog is social, i can also take them to doggy playdates for some supervised fun with other friendly pups. And if you’re up for it, i can even teach them new tricks with short, reward-based training sessions.
