It’s important for me to know any key details about your pets ahead of time so I can provide the best possible care. This includes their daily routine, feeding schedule, portion sizes, medication needs, and any allergies or health concerns. I also like to know about their personality, energy level, triggers, or behaviors I should be aware of, such as reactivity on walks or separation anxiety. Information about leash habits, favorite toys, comfort items, and how they interact with other dogs or people is also very helpful. The more I know in advance, the more I can make sure your pet feels safe, comfortable, and cared for while sticking closely to their normal routine.

When I’m caring for dogs, I like to make sure they stay active, happy, and mentally stimulated while also feeling safe and relaxed in their routine. This can include daily walks tailored to their energy level, playtime with toys like balls or ropes, and games like fetch or tug-of-war for dogs who enjoy more active interaction. I also make time for sniff walks so they can explore and engage with their environment, which is great mental enrichment. For dogs who are more calm or older, I focus on gentle walks, companionship, and lots of attention and affection to keep them comfortable and content throughout the visit.
