Firstly, it's crucial to provide me with your dog's medical information, including any allergies, medications they might need, and the contact details for their veterinarian in case of emergencies. Secondly, I'll need to understand your dog's behavior and temperament, as well as any specific triggers or fears they may have. This helps me ensure their comfort and safety during our time together. Additionally, knowing your dog's daily routine is essential. This includes their feeding schedule, potty breaks, and exercise requirements. Any special instructions, like dietary restrictions or preferred walking routes, are also crucial for me to follow. We should have a plan in place for emergencies, such as accidents or illnesses, and I'll need your contact information or an emergency contact if I have questions or need assistance. Having all the necessary supplies, like food, water, leash, collar, waste bags, and any preferred toys or equipment, readily available is a must. Ensuring a safe environment both inside and outside your home is important to prevent accidents or injuries. It's a good idea to make sure your dog has proper identification, like a collar with tags and a microchip, in case they get lost. Lastly, if you're entrusting me with your dog, please provide clear permission or authorization for me to care for them and access your property. By addressing these points ahead of time, I can provide the best possible care for your beloved pet and ensure a positive and safe experience while looking after them.

I enjoy engaging dogs in a variety of fun activities. Depending on the dog's energy level and preferences, I like taking them to the dog park for social interaction and playtime. If they're up for it, I also love exploring hiking trails with them, allowing them to enjoy the outdoors. It's important to tailor activities to each dog's abilities and interests to ensure they have a great time.
