🐾 Important Information About Your Dog For the safety of all pets in my care, I do not accept dogs who show any signs of aggression—toward people, other dogs, or cats. My dogs are extremely friendly, playful, and well-socialized, and have never shown any signs of aggression. Because of this, I must be very cautious when welcoming new dogs into our home. If an incident does occur, you will be contacted immediately and arrangements will need to be made for pickup. Please be honest and thorough about your dog’s temperament, triggers, and any behavior concerns—especially around food, toys, crates, or new environments. I welcome dogs with quirks or sensitivities, but safety and transparency are non-negotiable. For doggie daycare clients, I do require a trial visit before booking ongoing care. This gives us all a chance to see how your dog adjusts and helps ensure they feel comfortable in the environment. Intro meetings are always encouraged before a first stay, especially when your dog will be interacting with mine. I want everyone—two- and four-legged—to feel safe and at ease, so a quick meet-and-greet can go a long way. Drop-offs and pick-ups are welcome and flexible, but I ask that we coordinate times in advance to keep things smooth and stress-free. Please also note: • Your dog must be house-trained (puppies in training are welcome with prior discussion). • Your dog must be crate trained or comfortable being crated when needed. • Your dog must be up to date on vaccinations and flea/tick prevention. • Please bring any supplies your dog may need, including food, medication, and comfort items. My goal is to provide a safe, peaceful, and happy space for every dog in my care—and that starts with clear communication and the right fit.

🐾 A Typical Day in Our Home Our days start early around 5:30 AM with a potty break and breakfast—our routine begins when “dad” wakes up, even if I’m not quite ready to start the day yet! Once breakfast is done, the dogs usually settle in for a morning nap while I get ready for work. I leave for the salon around 10 AM, but I always come home between 11 AM and 1 PM for a lunch break, outdoor time, and a walk around the block. Roxy is crated while I’m away for short periods, but Fabio stays out—both are crate trained and comfortable with the routine. I typically work three days a week until 6 PM. Once I’m home, everyone eats dinner and we enjoy more outside time in the backyard, especially when the weather is nice. Half of our yard is beautifully shaded by tall pine trees, and there’s always fresh water available outside. Roxy loves to play fetch, while Fabio prefers to run alongside her and supervise the game. Evenings are relaxed—there’s plenty of indoor play, chews or bones to wind down, and lots of comfy spaces for resting. The dogs are allowed on furniture and welcome in my bed, although we adjust as needed depending on comfort and space. I’m flexible with where visiting dogs sleep and always make sure everyone feels safe and cozy. Throughout the day, there are plenty of potty breaks, time outside, and moments of one-on-one attention. Whether your dog is playful, laid-back, or somewhere in between, I’m here to make sure they feel right at home.
