How old is your dog? Is your dog spayed or neutered? Is your dog on any medication? What is a typical day for your dog? Does your dog have any special feeding instructions? Is your dog able to eat with other animals or will it do better being fed separately? How often will your dog need to go to the bathroom? Is your dog potty-trained?

I spend most of my day in the company of my cat and my dog. We do not crate our dog, although I have experience with crate training and am not opposed to someone bringing a crate to our home. Dogs will be walked twice a day, and allowed to play in the home with toys and the other animals. I like to feed my animals between 7-9 each morning and night so they are on a consistent schedule. Dogs are allowed to sleep in my room, although they are not allowed on the bed or furniture. To keep the animals as comfortable as possible, I like to stick with their usual daily routine. What time do they like to be walked? To make sure enough energy is dispensed throughout the day, two walks (one in the morning and evening) is preferred. What times are they used to eating and do they have any special dietary restrictions? I also like to let the animals get outside for playtime during the day. On top of everyday necessities, I like to make sure the animals are receiving enough attention and care in the absence of their owners, as my own pets will often become lonely (and mischievous!) when we are gone for long periods.
