I would like to know if the dog is reactive and how reactive, as well as its triggers. If the dog has documented bite history I will not care for them. I would like to know if your dog is protective of toys or food. Please let me know if your dog has any health conditions or symptoms I need to watch for, and who their vet is. Please let me know if your dog is likely to climb onto a shelf and attack my guinea pigs.I will not house a dog that is likely to do that. The shelf holding the guinea pigs is about four feet tall. There is no free counter space surrounding it. I would like to know if your dog is crate-trained. There is no crate in my home, but I am willing to use yours if it is brought with the dog. I would like to know if your dog can be left home alone for short periods of time, like a grocery store trip, and what you would like that to look like if at all. It is not often that I do this but it’s important to know your preference still. This allows me to cater better to each dog. Allergies and medications (if they have any) are good to know as well. If you’re dog takes medication, I would like to know the schedule for the medication and how they’re normally given the medicine. I am used to pilling a dog (placing the medication in the back of their throat then massaging their throat so they swallow quickly) and finely chopping or mixing medicines into high-value food. Please tell me how you would like your dog medicated and I will do my best to cater to that.

I wake up every day off and provide my dog with a medium-length walk first thing in the morning, and your dog would also get an this treatment each morning unless otherwise specified. Afterwards, they’re fed separated from each other. If a dog needs more exercise or walking then I go to a park to walk or play in a fenced-in area, typically my backyard. If requested, going to Patterson is not an issue for me. I just don’t do it often. I also care for my guinea pigs most in the morning usually. I am able to move their enclosure into a separate room, but I do not want an extremely prey-driven dog to scratch at the door of the room containing the guinea pigs. After breakfast and a morning walk, we usually spend some time relaxing. I love a snuggly dog :-). I am home a lot, so most of my days consist of being mellow and at home. Please tell me if your dog is able to be left home alone or not for short periods of time. My dog is almost never left home alone but does come with in the car if I have to run errands normally. Please let me know if you would like your dog to accompany me on such trips, stay home alone, or stay home with my dog. I can accommodate either. I go for an afternoon walk and an evening walk as well, usually through the park. I feed dinner separating my animal from the other dog again. We spend time relaxing again normally. I have a fairly mellow lifestyle so lower energy dogs are preferred; however, I am capable of handling high energy dogs. I have multiple puzzle toys if they require added stimulation. All dog toys are put up unless one is using a puzzle toy, which I provide to dogs once separated to avoid potential conflict.
