Some things I like to learn ahead of time: Would you like to schedule a meet-and-greet before the stay? What’s your preferred method of communication? Does your pup have any health issues that need to be tended to? For instance, dietary restrictions, medicine, or behavior triggers? Do you have a vet nearby that you trust? Is your dog spayed/neutered? Does your pup like to stick to a given schedule, like regular walks in the morning and evening? What does your pup do well around? What does your pup try to avoid? What’s the best way to spoil your pup?

Although I’ll refer to your pup’s personal regimen most often, I do like to have a general idea of what every day could look like. In the morning, we’d have breakfast, go outside, and get ready for the day depending on the weather. If it’s nice and sunny, we’d start packing for a beach day; if it’s a little cooler instead, we’d head downtown to strutt our stuff together! It’s always fun to introduce pups to a few of my favorite dog-friendly restaurants. In our downtime, we can work on some training habits together. Lunch time can either be at home or while out, as I always bring dog food and water with me. Around midday, I'd bring your pup home to relax for a bit to see how they’re doing energy-wise. If they still want to play, I have a good sized space for indoor fetch, or we can take a small walk on the Pinellas trail. I am very outgoing and love to take dogs to the park, beach, and to the downtown areas that are pet-friendly so they get a wide variety of stimulation. I have a lot of experience in raising and training all types of dogs, and am willing to offer some gentle training and guidance for your pooches if there are any areas of concern that you have with your pet. I'm available all times of the day, any day, so your pup and I will have plenty of time together to become new best friends.
