I tend to wake up naturally around 6. When doing pet care, I usually adapt the wake up time to whatever the pup is accustomed to keep them on schedule and avoid any confusion upon the owner’s return. There’s typically 1-1.5 hours of quality time whether that be a walk, play, or snuggles before I start my work day. During the pandemic, I am working remotely so I have plenty of time for potty breaks if there’s a pup who needs them more frequently! By lunch, I factor in another quick walk or 30 minutes outside time (if the owners have that as part of the pup’s routine), otherwise I do a long post-work walk. Then there’s play, snuggles, or whatever they desire before it’s their food time. Once they’re fed, I start my dinner process. They then get an evening walk or potty break before bed! In the event I go into the office to pick up a document or run an errand, I would leave the dog as the owner specified whether it be in a crate or in a specified space with some sort of enrichment.
