As always dogs must be dog & cat friendly, they don't have to be best friends but the health and safety of my pets is paramount as this is their full-time home. We always need to know if there are any medications your pet is on including dosage and schedule, how often they typically like to go potty (I work full-time from home so my schedule is adjusted as needed to your pet's needs.), and what kind of toys they like to play with/how they like to play. Do they like car rides? If they do, they can run grocery pick ups and errands with us (they'll never be left in the car alone), and if they don't that's ok! We can run our errands and they can hang out at home with the music box and just relax. We also like to know about the pet parent's preferences and whether they are ok with trips to the dog park, walks, rough housing, new training they would like to be kept up on, etc. Let me know how your dog prefers to sleep; in their crate, on the bed, or off in the living room by themselves. I can accommodate just about anything within reason!

We love to have fun in this house, we have overflowing baskets of toys, lots of bones to chew on, a big back yard to run around in and plenty of time during the day to run out some energy. Our neighborhood is very low traffic and great for short or long walks on flat pavement (don't worry! During the summer we will make sure the asphalt isn't too hot before we head out on our walks and will always bring water with wherever we go). A normal routine in this house goes a little something like this: In the mornings we wake up for a potty break while Mel gets our breakfast ready, we eat breakfast and play for a little bit while Mel starts work. If we need a potty break before lunch we just let Mel know and she can take us (she does work from home you know)! Around 12:30 we get an hour lunch break to play outside or inside, maybe get a treat or two, make sure waters are filled and everyone has a toy or enrichment activity to work on while Mel goes back to work for a bit. After work during the nicer months we love hanging out at the dog park (weather permitting) and during softball and football season we like to spend lots of time at the ball fields socializing and watching the kiddos play ball. At night we wind down and lay around on the couch for a bit before having our nightly potty break and bedtime treat. After that it's time for bed and they are welcome to sleep wherever they prefer including the couch or the bed. If you've gotten this far you've probably already figured out that this household kind of revolves around the pets and what they require during the day. Good thing Mel has a flexible schedule and can make sure we get enough love, exercise, and activity during the day!
