The first thing I would like to know is how big your dog is. My dogs are shy around bigger dogs, so I only look after dogs 40 pounds or smaller. I’m very comfortable with different breeds and temperaments, but anything you can tell me about your dog’s personality would be helpful. Is your dog comfortable with other dogs? Before your dog comes to stay with me, we’ll meet up. I’ll get down low and let your dog come to me, and then we’ll introduce my dogs, too. Simply, what does your dog like? What does your dog not like that we should be careful to avoid? Besides any diet or medical issues, let me know what your dog’s exercise needs are. Does your dog want to go to the park, tag along on a hike, or perhaps just do a little sunbathing? Would you like me to keep you updated with texts, pictures and videos of your dog? I can do that! Is your dog allowed to have treats during the day?

Of course, breakfast is the most important meal of the day. After that comes playtime in the backyard. We can check out the park near my house if your dog wants to make new friends. If your dog prefers solo time, we can take a walk in the neighborhood. In the evenings, it’s dinner time, plus a little family time, possibly with the TV on. I absolutely love animals, so belly rubs, playtime and cuddles will abound!
