To make sure your dog has the best, safest stay possible, I like to learn a little about their personality and routine ahead of time. Please let me know if your dog has any food aggression, guarding behaviors, or sensitivities around toys or treats. I’d also love to know about any nervous habits, anxiety triggers (such as loud noises or separation), or anything that helps them feel calm and comfortable. How does your dog do with other dogs, especially smaller or larger dogs? If they have specific play styles, boundaries, or prefer more space, that’s helpful to know. Please also share any medical needs, medications, allergies, or special feeding instructions, along with your preferred timing for meals or meds. If your dog is crate trained or prefers a crate for sleeping or downtime, I’m happy to accommodate that — just let me know what they’re used to. Lastly, if there’s anything unique about your dog — favorite toys, sleep habits, routines, or quirks — feel free to share. The more I know, the more I can make their stay feel like home.

A typical day starts with morning outdoor time and breakfast, followed by rest or relaxed indoor time. Around midday, I check in to let dogs outside and provide attention and care. In the afternoon and evening, we enjoy a neighborhood walk to stretch and release energy, followed by plenty of yard time and relaxing around the house. Whether your dog loves playtime or prefers cozy naps on comfy blankets, their routine is tailored to their needs.
