Before caring for your pet, I like to learn as much as I can to make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and right at home. It’s helpful to know their daily routine—like feeding times, potty schedule, and walking preferences—so I can stick as closely as possible to what they’re used to. I also appreciate knowing any commands they understand or are working on, so I can continue reinforcing good habits during their stay. Please let me know if your pet has any quirks, fears, or things that make them anxious (like loud noises, other dogs, or being touched in certain spots). If your dog has any medical needs, allergies, or requires medications, I’m happy to follow your instructions carefully to ensure their health and safety. It’s also important for me to know how your dog gets along with other dogs, especially since I have a friendly puppy at home. If your pup is more on the shy or reactive side, no worries—I can adapt our space and routine to make sure everyone is comfortable. The more I know ahead of time, the better I can care for your dog like one of my own!

A typical day in our home is full of play, structure, and lots of love. I start the morning with a walk to get some fresh air and help my puppy burn off that early energy. Throughout the day, we spend time playing with toys, practicing training cues, and working on positive reinforcement. I believe that a mix of physical activity and mental stimulation is key to a happy, well-balanced pup. Because I’m home full time, the dogs in my care are never left alone for long. I’m always nearby for potty breaks, belly rubs, or a quick training session. I keep a calm, clean, and pet-friendly space where your dog can feel comfortable and secure. Whether they need to run around, nap in a quiet spot, or socialize with my playful pup, their needs come first.
