**Important to Know About Your Pet** To help make your pet's stay safe, comfortable, and enjoyable, please provide the following information before your reservation: * Dogs and cats must be current on their rabies vaccination and be on a flea and tick preventative. * Please let me know your pet's normal diet, feeding schedule, favorite treats (if any), and any food allergies or sensitivities. * If your pet takes medications or supplements, please include the name, dosage, administration instructions, and schedule. * Please let me know about any medical conditions, mobility concerns, fears, anxieties, or other special needs. * How does your pet do when left alone for a short period of time? Do they relax, bark, become anxious, or have any behaviors I should know about? * Tell me about your pet's personality! What do they love? What helps them feel comfortable? Do they have favorite toys, routines, commands, sleeping habits, or other quirks that will help them feel at home? * If your pet is microchipped, you're welcome to include the chip information for your records. * Please include your veterinarian's contact information so I have it readily available should I ever have a question or need to consult them regarding your pet's care. The more I know about your pet beforehand, the better I can tailor their stay to match their normal routine and help them feel safe, relaxed, and loved while you're away.

Every pet has its own personality, energy level, and daily routine, and I do my best to maintain that routine while they're staying with me. Whether your dog enjoys playing fetch, exploring on walks, splashing in the puppy pool, or simply relaxing on the couch, I tailor each day to help them feel comfortable, happy, and at home. My large, securely fenced backyard provides plenty of room for supervised play and exercise. We have a variety of toys, including balls, tug toys, chew toys, and enrichment activities to keep dogs mentally and physically engaged. Birds and squirrels frequently visit the yard, making it an exciting place for curious pups to watch and explore. We live next to Jay Blanchard Park and the Econlockhatchee River, with beautiful wooded trails just behind the house. If you're comfortable with it, I'll happily take your dog on walks through the park for additional exercise and enrichment. For dogs that enjoy the water, I also have a puppy pool available for supervised splashing and play. Pets are welcome on the furniture if that's what they're accustomed to at home. I want them to feel as comfortable and relaxed as possible during their stay. My living room has plenty of open space, making it a fun place for indoor play when the weather isn't cooperating. My Australian Kelpie, **Napo**, is AKC Canine Good Citizen certified and has also passed the Public Access Test as a service dog. She has a calm, friendly temperament and gets along well with other dogs. Her easygoing personality often helps visiting dogs feel comfortable and settle into our home. I intentionally limit the number of pets I care for so that every dog receives plenty of individual attention, supervision, exercise, and affection. In most cases, I accept pets from only one new household at a time, creating a calm, low-stress environment. I occasionally make exceptions for returning clients whose dogs are already familiar with my home and whose temperaments are compatible. Above all, my goal is for your pet to feel safe, loved, and completely at home while they're here. One of my favorite compliments is seeing returning dogs recognize my home and eagerly come inside, tails wagging. They enjoy their stay and are always excited to reunite with their families when it's time to go home—which is exactly how it should be.
