It's absolutely crucial for me to know if your pet has any allergies or health issues before sitting him or her. It's also important for me to know if he or she has any behavioral problems or issues, and how he or she reacts to new people. I love dogs of all breeds, but I especially love puppies, medium and large breeds, and mutts.

I've found that walks are much more fun when the scenery is enjoyable for the dog and the walker. When there is extreme heat or ice on the roads, it's especially good for dogs to stick to trails and parks, and nicely kept sidewalks. In addition to walking your dog, I'll try to work some play time in there (if your dog is up for it!), because we all know that a played-out pupper is a happy (and tired) pupper!
