Pet Care when you need it

Retired veterinarian with decades of experience with cats and dogs. I currently have my own dog (Boxer) who is great will all other dogs. Yard is not currently fenced but that project will be completed in 2026. So leash walks are provided. Home backs onto a green space so there are good opportunities for walks. I often plan day trips to provide additional walking experiences. I also have 2 Siamese cats in the home.

Elaine took excellent care of Loki, and we truly appreciated her availability on short notice. She was very personable and easy to communicate with from the start, which made the whole experience stress-free. She provided regular and detailed updates. We would absolutely trust Elaine again and highly recommend her to others!

What do you typically do with your dog that you would like to have available in their home away from home? What is their typical self-soothing technique when they are at home or in stressful situations? For example, my guy has squishy toys that he will go and get and they function like a soother for him. Please provide basic information on feeding/sleeping/play/training schedules that they are used to.
