Information Mckayla F. would like to know about your pet

Knowing their feeding schedule, exercise needs, temperament, medical concerns, and daily routine helps me keep things consistent and stressfree for them. I also like to understand any triggers, favorite activities, and house rules so I can provide the best care possible and treat your pet like part of my own family.

A typical day

While watching dogs, I can keep them happy and entertained by playing games like fetch, tug-of-war, or just running around! Practicing basic training commands like sit, stay, or shake can help keep them engaged. For calmer time, brushing, cuddling, or relaxing outside together to help them feel comfortable. If allowed by the owner I will take them on walks I know that’s a great way to help dogs burn energy. I will always check with owner about treats, toys, and exercise limits to keep the dog safe.
