** Meet & Greets are required prior to booking! ** Understanding your pet's individual needs, personality traits, and behavior is crucial to providing the best care possible. Before caring for your furry family member, I take the time to ask detailed questions that help me assess their unique requirements and preferences. I inquire about their daily routines, including feeding schedules, exercise habits, and any medical conditions or medications they may require. Understanding their likes and dislikes allows me to tailor activities and enrichment to their preferences, whether it's their favorite toys, treats, or activities. Personality traits such as sociability, energy levels, and any specific triggers or fears are also important considerations. This helps me create a comfortable and stress-free environment where they can thrive. Behavioral history, such as training methods and commands they respond to, ensures consistency and reinforces positive behavior during our time together. By gathering this information upfront, I can provide personalized care that meets their physical, emotional, and mental needs. Your pet's well-being and happiness are my top priorities, and I look forward to getting to know them and providing the love and attention they deserve. Listed below are some key questions I ask to ensure I can tailor my care to meet your pet's specific requirements: *Your pets current Vet information * An emergency contact who is able to make decisions for the dog while you are away if you happen to be unavailable Separation Anxiety: Does your pet experience separation anxiety?

A typical day starts with greeting my furry guests with plenty of love and attention. After ensuring they've had their breakfast or a morning walk, we embark on a day filled with fun activities tailored to their individual behavioral patterns, personality and energy levels. For active pets, we might venture out for a stimulating walk or a jog in a nearby park, where they can stretch their legs and explore new scents. Playtime is always on the agenda, whether it's a game of fetch, tug-of-war, or interactive toys that challenge their minds. *Walks will not be performed in temperatures over 85°F or in severe weather.* Indoor activities include plenty of cuddles, belly rubs, and maybe even some training exercises to keep their minds sharp and reinforce good behavior. For those who prefer relaxation, cozy nap times are a must, complete with a comfy spot and soothing background music. Throughout the day, I maintain a structured routine that includes regular meals, bathroom breaks, and lots of positive reinforcement. Safety is paramount, so I ensure any outdoor adventures are in secure areas, and I'm always vigilant to provide a secure and nurturing environment. By the end of the day, your pets will have enjoyed a mix of exercise, mental stimulation, and loving companionship. Their happiness and well-being are my top priorities, and I'm dedicated to ensuring they have a pawsitively wonderful time in my care.
