The more knowledge about your pet, the better! Knowing information like allergies and/or medication requirements (including administration procedures and warning signs to look out for), vaccination history, unique behavioral tendencies (and appropriate responses to them), which commands they know, their overall temperament, and their comfort level with humans, other dogs, and various animals can tailor the care I provide! This information, while comprehensive, is essential for fostering positive interactions (for both your furry friend and me).

When watching dogs, I love playing fetch, going on hikes to explore new trails (splashing in water if available?), and learning new tricks to stimulate their minds. I also frequent various town parks with dog-friendly areas to play disc golf, so I’m somewhat familiar with many of the parks in and around Rochester. And if some dogs would rather a more relaxed pace, I'm more than happy to spend time lazing out in the sun!
