Before a stay, I like to know as much as possible about your pet so I can tailor my care to them. Please tell me about any medical conditions, medications, allergies, or mobility issues, as well as feeding schedules and any foods or treats that are off‑limits. It’s very helpful to know your dog’s typical energy level, favorite activities, and any training cues or house rules you’d like me to keep consistent. I also ask about anxiety triggers (like storms, separation, or other dogs), reactivity on walks, and how your pet does with strangers or other animals. The more detail you share, the better I can match your routine and make your dog feel safe, happy, and at home with me.

A typical day with me balances exercise, mental stimulation, and plenty of affection based on your dog’s age and energy level. We usually start with a potty break and a walk to get some morning wiggles out, followed by breakfast and a little quiet time. During the day, I rotate between walks, play sessions (like fetch, tug, or puzzle toys), and training refreshers using the cues you’re already working on. If I’m boarding, dogs enjoy supervised time in my home and yard, with structured breaks so they don’t get over‑tired, plus lots of cuddles, brushing, and one‑on‑one attention. In the evening, we wind down with another walk, dinner, and a calm, cozy environment so they can relax and sleep comfortably.
