Please let me know ahead of time if your dog has any special needs, medications, or allergies so I can provide the best possible care. I also appreciate knowing about: Feeding schedules and dietary restrictions Walk routines and potty habits Favorite toys, games, or calming techniques Any behavioral quirks (like separation anxiety, reactivity, or fear triggers) Whether they’re crate trained or have free roam of the house Vet contact info and emergency instructions How they usually do with other animals (if we might encounter any on walks) The more I know, the better I can make your dog feel comfortable, safe, and loved while you're away!

A typical day caring for a dog is all about keeping them happy, active, and comfortable! I start by making sure they have fresh water, a good meal (based on their usual routine), and some love and attention to start the day. Then it’s time for a walk—whether it’s a quick potty break or a longer stroll to explore and get some energy out. During the day, I like to mix things up depending on the dog’s personality. If they’re playful, we’ll do fetch, tug-of-war, or play with their favorite toys. If they’re more relaxed, we might cuddle, enjoy some belly rubs, or just chill together in the sun. Mental stimulation is just as important, so I love incorporating fun games or even a bit of basic training or puzzle toys. In the afternoon or evening, we’ll go on another walk or potty break, followed by some wind-down time, dinner, and more affection. Throughout the day, I keep an eye on their mood, appetite, and behavior to make sure they’re happy and healthy. Whether it’s an energetic puppy or a senior dog who prefers naps and head scratches, I make sure every day feels safe, fun, and full of love.
