It would be helpful for us to know in advance if your dog has any triggers or sensitivities so we can be aware of them when outside or within our home. We wouldn't want to add stress to your dog in any way, and knowing these triggers in advance would be greatly helpful (i.e., anxiety with other dogs we may encounter on a walk, fearful of loud noises such as fireworks, jumping at skateboarders or bikers). It would also be great to get a sense for how your pup does around other dogs since we are highly likely to encounter them on our walks in our neighborhood. As mentioned above, Emily and I have worked with dogs of all breeds, so as long as we communicate about your dog's needs, we should be good!

We have a pretty wonderful routine that allows for flexibility and lots of time outdoors. We will adjust, as needed, for your dog’s preferences and abilities, of course. When watching dogs, we typically start our day with a morning walk of the neighborhood. We return home to log into work and head out for a lunchtime walk around noon. In the evenings, after work, we'll explore a bit more, taking into consideration how much energy still needs to be expended (or if cuddles are in order). If it's the weekend, then anything goes! All in all, our household has a pretty active and outdoor lifestyle as it is, and we welcome any furry friend to join us for the fun!
