Information Karl K. would like to know about your pet

Obviously I would like to know what the owners feel is important to them. But of course how are they around other people including kids (I don't have kids mostly if we are in public what to expect) . How they react around other animals dogs and cats. Any medicine they require, any dietary needs any allergies and any special accommodations that I would need to apply.

A typical day

Activities will depend on my house guest. I have room in my yard and house that would support fetch. I also have great space indoors and outdoors for relaxing depending on the energy level of all guest. I also have walking trails within a 2 minute walk from my house. 2 great parks within a 5 minute drive and a pet friendly river walk tail for those who like to swim, as well as a great mountain to walk up and down.

I had to leave my dog just two days after a hot spot had developed, so I had to give Karl specific directions. He was kind and knew all about it, and made me feel comfortable despite what I thought was a real inconvenience! My dog returned super happy and his hot spot had healed really well, rather than getting worse. Yay!! I was grateful to Karl.
