I will always defer to the owner in terms of knowing their dog best. If you have leash training you are working on, I want to know what you do! If you have favorite spots your dog likes to go to, I’m down. I would like to know about any separation anxiety beyond the normal “some crying but they eventually settle.” I do have housemates and want to be respectful of noise. I expect to spend 95% of my time with your dog, but do like to go to the gym in the evening and have small local errands to run during the day. Knowing the dog’s behavior while crated or left alone is helpful for me to determine if they are a good fit for my needs too. I want everyone to feel safe and have fun, so that I can assist in the best quality of life for your loved one. Dogs are a part of the family and deserve everything we can give them.

Walks or runs on the street, in the woods (if allowed/feasible), playing 1 on 1, dog park visits, light grooming. I love walking to the Sweet Trail from my house and exploring the trails there. I live right on Bay Road in newmarket which will often be my go-to route for early morning walks. I am also within waking distance to the Heron Point Preserve and Newmarket Park. I love to throw a ball or frisbee around as well. Nap times are usually a must for a dog of any age and after lots of play or walking, some down time is needed! I can provide a quiet and cozy setting for this if your dog is staying with me for the day or overnight. Some of my favorite dog-friendly spots: Bellamy Reservoir, Sweet Trail, Kingman Farm, Wagon Hill, College Woods, Lubberland Creek Preserve, Bellamy Preserve, Seapoint Beach, Newcastle Beach, to name a few! Swimming in the lamprey river or ocean! Dog parks, or beach visits, if owner wants their dog to get some socializing in!
