For all clients: Please let me know if your pet has any special needs. Please share any commands your dog knows or behaviors you're working on, and whether you'd like us to practice any of these during my visit. For walks: Is your dog reactive or aggressive to other dogs, other animals like cats or squirrels, and/or people? How well does your dog walk on a leash (any tugging, pulling, etc)? For drop-ins: What is your pet's typical routine? I'll do my best to recreate that so they're comfortable.

For drop-in visits, I'll do my best to follow your pet's routine. If you have a fenced-in yard, we can play outside for a bit, otherwise we'll go on a quick leashed potty break. I can play with them with their favorite toys, give them pets and cuddles, check water/food, administer medications, etc. For dog walking clients, during our first few visits I'll walk your pup in an area they're already familiar with, like in your neighborhood or nearby trails. Once we're comfortable together, we can explore some of the local river trails and parks at your request. I'll always walk your pet in the dog-friendly areas most suited to their needs! On walks, I do my best to balance physical exercise and mental stimulation. I always bring extra water, a bowl, poo bags, grain-free treats, Benadryl (in case of stings), and a spare leash. Expect plenty of cute pics and a thorough post-visit recap!
