The most important thing for me to know up front is the dogs temperament with not only humans, but dogs as well. Knowing the dogs routine is key to me because keeping them on their normal routine will allow them feel at more at ease and comfortable. Any past/current medical conditions as well. And what things you as an owner are and are not comfortable with. Are you comfortable with your dog going to the lake or dog parks? Are you comfortable with your dog being off leash at any point? Are you comfortable with your dog being around other dogs? These questions will help me ensure that I am meeting your dog's individual needs as well as your expectations for any stay with me.

I love to be outdoors, especially with my pups! Living in an area where the temperatures are often above 100 degrees in the summer months, I typically only venture outside with the dogs in the early morning between 6am-8am. After about 9am it's too hot for the dogs to be outside for extended amounts of time. So we will likely spend the majority of our time playing indoors or possibly going to the lake if approved by the owner of course! My neighborhood is super dog-friendly and provides a great atmosphere to take dogs on walks. In the fall & winter months when the temperatures have cooled, I love to visit the dog park in Washington to provide the dogs with a place to cool off in the splash area and socialize with other dogs.
