What I’d Like to Know Before Walks & Visits • Your pet’s daily routine Feeding schedule, potty schedule, preferred walk times. • Energy level & activity needs Are they high-energy, moderate, or more low-key? • Behavior notes Any reactivity? Shy? Nervous with strangers? Pull on leash? Jumping? Resource guarding? • Favorite things Treats, toys, games, walking pace, sniff time preferences. • Training cues you use Sit, stay, wait, heel, “leave it,” recall words, etc. (I want to stay consistent with what YOU do.) • Medical needs Meds, allergies, mobility issues, recent surgeries, or anything that needs extra attention. • Leash/walk preferences Harness vs. collar, where supplies are kept, whether you prefer neighborhood walks, yard time, or play indoors on bad weather days. • Social preferences Do they like meeting other dogs on walks? Or should we keep distance? • Crate use or calming routines If they are crated when I leave, how you normally do it. • Home access instructions Where to enter, alarms, and where you want me to lock up.

I enjoy staying active with the dogs I care for — walks, hikes, and fun enrichment are some of my favorite ways to connect. While I love the motto ‘a tired dog is a good dog,’ I also know every animal has different needs. I’ll always adjust our activity level to whatever keeps your pet happy, safe, and comfortable.
