1. Dog friendliness with cats; ideally, the fur client will need to be downright indifferent to cats or friendly towards them - at minimum having previous cat exposure history of not chasing them is preferred. I typically do meet and greets in my home to test this beforehand for new clients who have had 0 cat exposure. 2. Feeding schedule and amount. You will need to supply your own food for safety reasons. (The Oreo gang eats their food from an automatic feeder - your dog is safe from kitty food!) 3. Potty schedule. Does your dog let you know it needs o-u-t? 4. Health concerns, allergies, wound care, any similar issues. 5. Behavioral issues/prior issues. 6. Any quirks, special behaviors, anxieties, pickiness, anything you can think of that might be important. 7. I do have hardwood floors this time around, so it would be wise to bring your dog's bed if you have one, just so they have that additional space to lay down as sometimes the Oreo demands attention. 8. Energy Level. 9. No breed preferences, however untrained dogs will not be welcomed back.

A typical day in the life of Jeaninne starts around 7/8 with a fresh cup of coffee and if I am with a dog, letting that dog out for it’s morning routine. If it is not ugly weather I tend to walk in the back with the animal with my coffee and enjoy the morning moments. If I am leaving for work if your dog is not crate trained or is a large-breed, I will gate them in my bedroom. Unless specified I will leave my favorite show Law and Order SVU on for them while I am gone. (I tried national geographic and almost lost a TV). I come home straightaway when caring for a dog, and I live close by so getting home is quick and easy. If I'm staying home my hobbies are mostly indoors ones, giving me plenty of time to spend with the fur child and give all the attention to them too. If for whatever reason something came up, I do have another trusted adult who could access the property to come provide relief, however this has yet to have been needed and I hope I never do, but as you probably know, life does happen sometimes. Your animal IS allowed on my couch and in my bed with me, provided it’s not a situation like we have with Colby where he will sneak out of bed and make messes so we have to crate him at night. Your cat is also similarly safe, though in my experience usually bookings with cats are so short there isn’t enough time for the cat to completely trust me to want to sleep with me or snuggle. It’s all good, I respect your kitty's boundaries too.
