To give your pet the absolute best experience possible, transparency is everything! Every animal is an individual with their own unique personality, quirks, and comfort zones. Sharing their specific needs before our booking allows me to tailor my full-time care to match their exact routine. Here is what is incredibly helpful to know ahead of time, and why it matters: Routine & Predictability: Pets thrive on consistency. Knowing their exact feeding schedule, medication times, crate routine, and how they signal that they need to go outside helps prevent stress and keeps them feeling secure in a new environment. Triggers & Boundaries: Is your dog uncomfortable around bikes, loud noises, or specific types of dogs? Does your cat prefer to be left completely alone to observe from afar rather than being petted? Knowing their boundaries helps me advocate for them, avoid stressful situations, and keep them feeling entirely safe. Current Training Milestones: If you are actively working on early puppy training (like crate training or loose-leash walking) or working through specific behavioral goals, let me know! I love maintaining that consistency so your hard work doesn't skip a beat while you're away. Dietary Restrictions & Quirks: From severe allergies to "he likes to guard his favorite toy," no detail is too small. Knowing these details prevents accidents and ensures a smooth, peaceful stay.

🕒 A Typical Day of Care Because I am available full-time, your pet’s day will be highly structured, engaging, and tailored to their specific life stage and energy level. Here is what a standard, balanced day looks like in my care: 🌅 Morning: Rise, Shine & Move We start the day early with an immediate outdoor potty break, followed by a fresh breakfast served exactly on your schedule. Once breakfast has settled, we head out for our first major walk or outdoor adventure of the day to burn off that morning energy and get the sniffies out. 🧩 Mid-Day: Brain Games & Bathroom Breaks Mid-day is all about balance. For puppies or seniors, this means frequent, timed bladder breaks and quick leg-stretches. To keep minds sharp and prevent boredom, I love incorporating light mental enrichment—like puzzle toys, lick mats, or reinforcing basic focus manners and loose-leash walking if you are currently working on training milestones. 💤 Afternoon: Nap Time & Co-Working Companionship After a busy morning, the afternoon is reserved for a dedicated wind-down period. Pets can curl up in a cozy spot or a crate for a peaceful nap while I handle my daily tasks nearby. Your pet will have constant company and supervision, ensuring they feel secure and relaxed. 🌳 Evening: Sunset Stroll & Wind Down As the day wraps up, we head out for another structured walk to enjoy the fresh air. Afterward, dinner is served, bowls are refreshed, and we settle in for a calm evening. 🌙 Night: Final Check & Bedtime Before lights out, we head out for one final, supervised potty break to ensure a comfortable, accident-free night. Then, it's tucked into bed (or crate) for a safe and restful night's sleep!
