It is important to know their boundaries, where they like to be in the house, what their behaviour is like especially when on walks, for example if they prefer not to interact with large dogs. It is important to know their commands and what they respond best to. How often then are fed and allowed to be treated, how they would prompt me to know when to go outside for a toilet break. Their medication needs and what their favourite toys and sleep routine is like. Whether they are allowed off the lead, have a collar or harness and where this is found in the house.

Always dependent on the owner and dog needs, but a typical dog sitting day is feeding them in the morning, if multiple dogs, this is prepared the night before, then lots of fuss, toilet break and ball throwing until time for a morning walk. Take them to a local park where they are comfortable and familiar, i prefer big fields and parks away from roads and cars but local on lead parks are also great. Once walked dependent on needs, I wash them or just dry paws and then encourage a sleep afterwards. Playtime in the afternoon until an evening walk if required followed by the evening feed and encourage calm time or some play dependent on the individual dog. I will also send lots of puppy photos!
