Information Donald "Don" K. would like to know about your pet

What is your pet daily routine? What is their sleeping setup? Are they potty trained? What are their favorite activities? Dietary restrictions? How are they off leash? Are they aggressive to other dogs/animals?

A typical day

I like getting to know your pet personality and learning what their favorite activities are. Walking is a main exercise for the dogs I'm taking care of. I like to take them to the dog park, so they can run freely and burn off energy in a controlled environment. Or take them to the nature park where they experience new smell and sights, stimulating their brain. I will introduce your pet to fetch, frisbee, scent games like hiding treats and ask them to find it. I’d like also playing agility games with dogs, like jumping, following, going up and down the stairs on command. I think your pet would be happy playing with friends.

Pet care experience

As a dog lover I have been fostering dogs what help me to learn how to deal with different animal behaviors and give me a lot of experience with traumatized dogs as well as experience with several breeds. I've cared for sick animals and am very comfortable with medications and understand special needs. As dogs like their routines, I would adjust to their needs accordingly, so their schedule isn’t disrupted too much.

Great communication and pics of freya while I was gone so that I could relax. Freya came home happy and pleasantly tired out from the great care.

Great job looking after our 3 dogs. We contacted them last minute for an overnight and they were very accommodating. Kept us updated with photos and video. Spoiled them like their own. Highly recommend them!

We have a 2 year old black lab named Molly. We have had Don and Anna take care of her on multiple occasion's for either a short period or for a week long vacation. They have always been available and happy to help us out with our Molly. We feel Molly is always in good hands with Anna and Don as they are puppy people and have always had good communication on how things are going with the puppy sitting through text and pictures. Two thumbs up for D&A.
