What I will need to know from you (besides the pup's schedule, preferred activities, diet, health, etc.) will be whether or not they have any particular behaviors for me to be aware of (for example: excitement at the door, roughness at play time, dog/food/toy/small animal aggression, are there any areas of their body they don't like having touched, what level of leash training do they have/how much do they pull)? Regarding special needs: if they have incontinence or issues holding their bowel movements, I'll need to know if they take any medication for it, and is there a particular area of the home they normally stay in or out of? If your pup is at the end of life, I'm open to discussing whether or not I'm the right fit for you. It depends on your dog's size, needs, and physical ailments (and I'll need a local emergency contact who can help in, well, in case of emergency).

For housesitting, I will get 30 to 90 minutes of supervised activity into your pup's day each day. For drop in visits, I will provide at least a few minutes of activity for your pup during each visit. Of course, the activity depends on the age, energy level, and physical health of your pup, environmental conditions around your home (such as fenced in yard/safe place to play/walk) and your preferences.
