During our initial conversation, I will ask a series of questions (i.e. pup’s vaccination status, temperament with people/dogs, personality, interest, sleeping arrangements, health concerns, etc) so that I may begin to build the individualized plan of care for your pup. Please let me know if your pup has a special schedule, dietary restrictions, and/or special needs. I am happy to accommodate any needs that you may have. Making sure that your fur baby feels "at home" is important to me. I'd like to know what your pup enjoys and what things I can do or adjustments I can make to make him/her feel most comfortable and have an unforgettable experience. Also, please let me know your pup's sleeping arrangements and if you have a particular communication system/code words in place for your pup so that I may utilize them as well. Finally, we celebrate holidays, birthdays, and gotcha days-so please let me know if your pup has a birthday or gotcha day during their time with me!

I love to stimulate dogs mentally and physically. We will play fun games, participate in enrichment activities, and take nature walks in the neighborhood. With your permission, of course, I like to incorporate things such as playing fetch, soccer, tug of war, splashing around in the doggy pool (shallow dog pool in my backyard for them to run, jump, and play in), sausage bobbing, treat tunnels, and blowing bubbles (peanut butter flavored and safe for pets) for them to chase! The pups usually have a blast with these activities! If you'd prefer for your fur babies not to participate in any of these activities or feel that they would not enjoy them, we can certainly omit them. I am also fine with a fur baby who would rather be a couch potato, quietly relax, and get belly rubs as he/she falls asleep:). They are usually the best cuddle buddies and I love this! I also like to cook for pets, so I often bake turkey and/or chicken for them throughout the week. If you would rather your fur baby not have this treat due to preference, restricted diet, or allergies, please let me know. We end each day with an evening stroll and relaxing nighttime massage to bedtime melodies. Activities and games facilitated throughout the stay are planned with your fur baby's interests, temperament, and needs in mind! This personable experience ensures that your pup has the greatest time imaginable and leaves my care feeling loved and happy!
