When pet sitting, it is very helpful for me to know as much information as possible about the pet to provide the best care. Any of the following pieces of information are helpful to know ahead of time: Daily Routine: schedule for feeding, walks, playtime, and bedtime to maintain consistency. Diet and Restrictions: food preferences, portion sizes, and any dietary restrictions or allergies. Medical Needs: medications, health conditions, and contact information for vet in case of emergencies. Behavioral Traits: how they interact with other animals, strangers, and unfamiliar situations Likes and Dislikes: favorite activities, toys, and treats, as well as things that may cause stress or fear (e.g., loud noises, car rides). Commands and Training: commands they know or are trained to follow. Emergency Plan: instructions on what to do in case of emergencies House Rules: Clarify what they are allowed to do (e.g., furniture access) and any restrictions specific to the owner’s preferences. This information helps ensure a smooth experience for both you and the pet!

While my yard isn't fenced, I ensure all dogs are leashed inside my home before heading outside. I love living in the Lakewood area of Dallas, and the neighborhood is perfect for walks. With White Rock Lake nearby, we can also enjoy longer, lakeside strolls! Inside, your pup is welcome everywhere—on the furniture and even in my king-sized bed if that’s what they’re used to. For those who prefer some alone time, we have a dedicated dog room off the living room where they can relax in peace.
