It helps to know your dog’s daily routine, energy level, and any special needs — like dietary restrictions, allergies, or medication. I also like to know how your dog gets along with other dogs, what commands they know, and what comforts them if they’re feeling nervous. The more I know about their personality and habits, the easier it is to make them feel right at home!

A typical day here is full of play, walks, and plenty of tail wags! We start the morning with a good walk to burn off some energy, followed by breakfast and a bit of quiet time. During the day, I keep the dogs engaged with games like fetch, gentle training exercises, or a bit of tug-of-war in the garden. I take another walk in the afternoon.
