I would like to know if they are comfortable around other dogs (in case walking/running in a dog-friendly area would be an option). I don’t have any breed restrictions, as I have experience with many different breeds, both big and small. I’ve taken care of Irish wolfhounds and German Shepherds, to cocker spaniels and yorkies. Let me know if your dog has any major fears or worries (vacuum, other dogs, loud noises, cars, etc.) so that I can work to avoid those things or try to ease any anxiety. Also, if there’s a special treat that your dog can have to reward good behavior, I’d love to have that on hand!

I am open to activities that each individual dog enjoys! I typically head to the closest nature conservation land for a shady walk with plenty of dogs around and an occasional swim in a pond. If your dog loves to swim, then I’ll be sure to make a special trip to a pond so that they can cool off! (I also totally understand if swimming is off-limits for your pup). If your dog doesn’t do so well around other dogs, not to worry. I can take your dog on a neighborhood walk where we aren’t likely to run into other pups. Its always great to play fetch, frisbee, soccer, or tug of war with dogs too. It’s a great way to get energy and nerves out while still being able to rest or take a break whenever needed, which is a bit trickier while out on the trails. Your dog’s safety is my number one priority, with their happiness coming in at a close second. If your dog loves a particular activity or has a least favorite, just let me know! I’ll be sure to send plenty of photos and updates while your dog is with me, so you can have some peace of mind while you’re away from your pet!
