Because I am home during the day, your pet will receive plenty of potty breaks, playtime, and supervision. We strive to make your dog's vacation with us feel as comfortable as possible. If your dog is crate-trained, I recommend bringing their crate since many pets find comfort in having a familiar space from home. Well-behaved dogs who are comfortable in a new home environment may also have the opportunity to relax freely and sleep in our main living areas. Communication is important to me, and I know how reassuring it is to know your fur baby is doing well. I typically send photo and video updates once or twice a day, usually in the morning and evening. This allows me to be fully present with our kids and dogs in my care rather than spending the day on my phone. Of course, if there is ever an urgent concern, I will contact you immediately. Since my primary focus during the day is caring for my family, homeschooling, and of course the pets entrusted to me, my response times to new requests will probably be slower during daytime hours.
