Safety, trust & environment

I ALWAYS require a meeting with the pets. I also want to talk to the owners and see their interactions as well. The safety and comfort of their fur babies is really important, just as it is for my fur baby. I ask for your fur babies normal schedule, what a normal day for them is, and I try my best to keep it as normal as possible and the schedule as close to the same as possible. If their pets do not like dogs/little dogs, then we can figure out what will work best for their fur baby needs, while keeping everyone safe and happy. If they have pets that need a little more TLC, frequent let outs, or weird behaviors we can also talk about those so that I am aware, and we can all be comfortable and happy. The biggest thing for me is that the pets are ok with me coming into their space, and that we are all safe for the time we are together. I love sending updates to the pet parents on how their fur babies are doing and will ask if there is a preferred way to do this (text, or wifi). I do have a fenced in back yard for use, and if I have questions after the fact or something seems off, I will reach out and talk to or ask about it. IF you have a larger dog (over 40lbs) Please reach out. I have a back injury now so dogs that pull a lot on walks or are larger and need some extra TLC might be a bit harder for me but I will discuss this with you and your situation. I also do have a significant other who assists me sometimes with multiple dogs to walk when they are staying with us. He loves to play, give pets and hang out on the couch with the fur babies as well! Lets keep everyone happy, healthy, safe, and having the most fun!

Information Nina T. would like to know about your pet

What makes them comfortable, what are their likes and dislikes, do they have allergies or things they cannot have, what is their normal schedule, do they like other dogs, feeding schedule, are they crate trained/house broken, do they like walks, who is their vet as well as the information for their vet clinic, are they up to date on shots, bordetella, etc. What are things I need to know, like are the leash aggressive, possessive of toys, food, etc. Or do they have a issue with males. Again I am more than happy to do my best and accommodate you, and keep your pet happy and safe!

A typical day

I live in a beautiful Golf Course Community, where there is ample places to go walking. As the long as the weather is permitting it, Piccolo and I love walks! We also love being in the back yard, sitting on the porch and playing with our toys. Living in North Central Florida there are so many dog friendly places to go hiking too! Sometimes on weekends My dog friend group will get together and take our fur babies on hiking adventures.
