I’ll ask you a lot of questions about your dogs personality and needs at our meet and greet. Will need a copy of your pet’s last rabies vaccination - photo of it in a text will do. It will be helpful to know what behaviors you’re trying to reinforce or discourage before the stay. In other words if your dog is crate trained at night, your dog will sleep in a crate here, if you don’t want your dogs on your couches at home, I will keep them off of my couches, etc,. We can discuss this in detail when we meet.

I love to take dogs to the beach and, or, Gordon’s Pond trail at CHSP. So it will important for me to know how many miles your dog can walk. On very hot or cold days (<32F), I typically keep the dog walks limited or just play with them in my fenced in yard. The sand, concrete and some trails at CHSP can burn your dogs paws and don’t want to risk that happening or heat stroke. In addition, late spring and summertime is tick time here, so I keeps the dogs off of wooded paths until the weather is consistently below 65F. If I take your dog to the beach and they get wet or like to swim - also let me know if that’s ok- l will wash the sand and salt water off of them when I get home. Feel free to supply me your favorite bath soap and I will give them a bath. If your dog cannot walk very far, we can go for short walks to let them sniff around at the park or play in the backyard. I’ve cared for senior dogs and the walks might be hard but they still need some outdoor time.
