We do not have breed preferences, but the owner of the animal should know his/her behavior and be completely honest with us before we agree to pet sit. We have children and other animals in the home and cannot have a dog with terribly aggressive behavior. If a dog has food aggression, for instance, we need to know so that we can never have food down around him/her and we will also keep toys/bones put away. We like to know as much as possible about the dog (s) before agreeing to care for them in our home, especially. Here are a few ideas of what we would like to be told! The more we know, the better care we can provide. Are there special food restrictions? Does the dog have any medical issues? How to deal with negative behavior? How to reward for positive behavior? What is the exercise level of dog and typical type preferred? Does the dog like to charge the door when someone leaves? Does the dog exhibit any aggressive behaviors? If so, what are the triggers? Has the dog been around children? Other pets? Is the dog allowed on furniture? What vet does the animal see typically? Is the dog microchipped? What is your dog's typical daily routine? Does your dog have anxiety? If so, how does it manifest? Does your dog enjoy car rides?

We have a park down the road from us with open spaces and sidewalks which is great for dog walking. Depending on the dogs' favorite activities, we have plenty of toys and balls for fetching. We like to play fetch in the backyard so that the dogs have room to run but can't escape!
