To ensure your dog feels safe, happy, and well cared for, I’d love to know a few key things before they arrive: Friendliness & Social Behavior: How does your dog interact with other dogs and people? Are they shy, playful, or protective? Any quirks I should be aware of? Sleeping Arrangements: Where does your dog usually sleep—crate, dog bed, couch, or with you? I want to match their comfort zone as closely as possible. Feeding Schedule & Preferences: What time(s) do they eat? Do they have any dietary restrictions, allergies, or special feeding instructions? Exercise Needs: How much activity does your dog typically need each day? I offer morning and evening walks, plus fetch and outdoor playtime during lunch and evenings in my fully fenced backyard. The more I know, the better I can tailor their stay to feel just like home. Feel free to share anything else that helps your pup settle in comfortably!

Sunny, my 5-year-old golden retriever, and I enjoy a structured, active, and loving routine that’s perfect for dogs who thrive on exercise and companionship. Our mornings start with a refreshing 45-minute walk, giving Sunny plenty of time to sniff, explore, and stretch those legs. During the lunch hour, we head outside again for some fetch and free play in our fully fenced backyard, which offers a safe and spacious area for running and relaxing. In the evenings, we wind down with another 30-minute walk, followed by more outside time and fetch to burn off any leftover energy before dinner. Whether it’s a quiet stroll or a playful romp, Sunny gets lots of attention, exercise, and love throughout the day. Our home is a one-level rancher, making it easy for dogs of all ages and mobility levels to feel comfortable. I work from home, so your pup will never be left alone and will be treated like part of the family.
