- Eating/potty schedule - Special needs or medications (with label for administration) - Exercise requirements - Is the dog under regular fea/tick prevention regimen? - Is the dog crate trained? - Can the dog be left alone and for how long?

A good bit of pro-activity goes a long way so everyone stays safe. Most well socialized dogs get along, but not always. There's times when separation is needed such as downtime and feeding times. I have arranged my home in a way that permits safe separation if needed. Your dog will be cared for same as my own, and instructions for them followed strictly. In general, daily activity will involve park trips and/or running the backyard. The rules are: no dogs on the furniture or bed, restricted from kitchen and food prep areas, and crated for bedtime (optional if the dog is well-behaved). Dogs are permitted freedom of movement around the house and backyard, except for the kitchen and eating areas which are restricted. The yard is secured with locks on the gates. Ellie enjoys sunbathing on the back deck and is fond of the trails and dog park which she goes almost daily. She also loves rides to the pet store when we're out shopping and visiting her BFFs Cooper and Peanut.
