This isn’t “watching,” it’s enrichment. I’m home full-time, comfortable with giant breeds, and working toward a dog-training certificate. I don’t have pets of my own—so let me “borrow” yours. 🙂 Why it’s premium Toys galore: fetch, tug, chew, puzzles, snuffle mats, flirt pole—rotated and sanitized. Daily enrichment: scent games + short training reps (sit/down/place, leash manners). Real routine: 4+ outdoor breaks, play blocks, naps, calm evening wind-down. Senior-smart: slow walks, extra potty breaks, meds as directed. Safety & house rules No mixing different client households. Group play allowed only for dogs from the same household and only with owner approval. Crate only if your dog already uses one or needs it to decompress—otherwise no crate. No off-leash outside secure areas. Toys inspected/cleaned; high-value items managed; feeding done separately. Calm, low-stim environment; fully supervised play; I end sessions at the first sign of stress/arousal. A typical day Morning potty → breakfast → enrichment/training → rest. Midday walk/play → puzzle/lick-mat → nap. Late-day yard time or walk → dinner → relaxed engagement → bedtime potty. What I need to know Potty status, triggers, allergies, meds, feeding schedule, crate habits, separation issues, resource-guarding. Bring food, harness/leash, and a comfort item from home. Services Boarding / Daycare: enrichment-focused structure and play. Walks / Drop-Ins: potty, feed, tidy, quick manners tune-ups. Training add-on (optional): 15–30 min focused sessions on your priority cues. Updates Clear photo/video updates with honest notes on meals, potty, rest, and what we worked on. Bottom line: premium, toy-rich, 1:1 care—safe, structured, and tailored to your dog.
