Safety, trust & environment

I would make sure to have my eyes on the pup at all times and ensure that they don’t get into any trouble, i am also very good at reading behavioral cues and can be alert if something is off with the pup. it’s important that the dog has my trust and feels comfortable with me

Information Renee P. would like to know about your pet

I would like to know if there are special needs i can accommodate for, i have taken care of dogs of all types so nothing should be an issue, also any strange habits would be important just so i can know its normal behavior

A typical day

A typical day of pet sitting would be waking up with a morning bathroom use then getting fed (including any dietary needs), and then i’d play with them for a while and let them get out any morning energy. I like to play the hidden treat from games to stimulate them. Then i’d walk them, let them explore any new smells, and do their bathroom duties. I usually base activity throughout the day on the dog so if they are a home body and just want to cuddle that’s perfect or if they are super active and you’re comfortable with it i love going on hikes and am good at determining an appropriate distance for them.
