When Pets Stay in My Home: Pets are always welcome on my furniture, but for safety, I only allow lounging—not active play—on the couch or bed. Some dogs are more relaxed than others, and I want to make sure no one gets trampled by pups who are feeling extra playful. I provide multiple cozy beds, open crates, and even a full couch where dogs can nap, relax, or hang out comfortably. At mealtime or during enrichment activities involving food, I use crates and gates to keep everyone separated. This helps prevent food guarding, ensures safety, and allows each dog to enjoy their meal or treat peacefully. I follow a gentle balance of play and rest throughout the day—mornings and mid-days typically include engaging activities, while other parts of the day are for downtime and relaxation. When Caring for Pets in Their Own Home: I carefully follow all instructions provided during our Meet & Greet and take detailed notes on everything from greeting routines and home entry instructions to allergies and any behaviors I should be aware of. This helps me provide a seamless, comfortable, and safe experience for your pet in their own home, keeping them happy and cared for while you’re away.
