1) When you're boarding your dog, it's important to choose a facility that will make them feel comfortable and at home. Here at my Doggy Daycare, I understand that every dog is unique, and I am happy to accommodate special requests. If your dog has a favorite toy or pillow, please feel free to send it over - I want them to feel as relaxed and happy as possible while they're staying with us. I have plenty of stainless steel bowls for food and water, as well as plenty of balls and toys. However, if you do send a toy over, please keep in mind that other dogs may like it better than the ones I have here, and it could be destroyed. 2) One of the most important things to remember is to bring enough food for your dog's stay. Dogs' digestive systems are different from ours, and switching their food too suddenly can cause them to get sick. To avoid any upset stomachs, pack enough of your dog's regular food to last the entire vacation, plus a little extra in case they want more. 3) As a dog sitter, I find that it is easiest if you provide small zip lock bags of dry food for your pup. If you prefer, you can provide one large zip lock bag of food for the entire stay. 4) If you're keeping track of your dog's food intake while they're staying with me, it's usual if they don't eat as much as they normally do at home. It's very common for a dog to not eat its normal amount of food, or any at all, for the first 1-2 days of his/her stay. And it's pretty common for them to eat a lot when they first get home—nothing like being home, right? 5) I've experienced administering medication in a variety of forms, including liquid, pill pockets, and crushed pills mixed with food. However, due to bad experiences in the past, I will not pill a dog. If your dog requires medication, I am happy to give them liquid or crushing pills and give them food together. I can't wait to meet your pups! I'm a big fan of furry friends, and I know how important it is to find the right home for them. I'll make sure to give them plenty of love and attention. I know how much they mean to you, and I promise to take good care of them while you're away. See you soon!

I love spending time with dogs, and I always enjoy finding new ways to stimulate them mentally and physically. One of my favorite activities is taking them to the dog park. Not only do they get to run around and burn off energy, but they also get to socialize with other pups. I live in a very pup-friendly environment, so there are always plenty of opportunities for walks, playtime, and cuddles. I believe it's crucial to maintain a healthy balance of mental and physical activity for dogs, and the dog park is a great way to do that.
