Before a stay, I like to learn as much as possible about your dog so I can make their experience safe, comfortable, and stress-free. Important information to share includes their daily routine, feeding schedule, allergies, medications (if any), health concerns, and any behavioral quirks or fears (such as anxiety, reactivity, or separation issues). Please also let me know how your dog does around other dogs and new people, their energy level, leash skills, and whether they are house trained. If your dog has any special triggers, favorite comfort items, sleep preferences, or specific commands they respond to, that’s incredibly helpful too. The more I know ahead of time, the better I can tailor their environment, routine, and care so they feel safe, relaxed, and truly at home during their stay.

For more active dogs, I incorporate interactive play and light training reinforcement (like basic commands, leash manners, or tricks you’re already working on at home). For senior dogs or those who prefer a slower pace, I focus on calm companionship, comfort, and short, stress-free strolls. Throughout their stay, I also capture candid moments through the day so you get to see the fun your pup is having while you’re away. My goal is always to provide a balance of play, rest, and emotional comfort so your dog feels happy, safe, and right at home.
