Here are the most important things we like to know before caring for someone’s pets: • Are they prone to biting, and under what circumstances • Are they rescue animals from an animal shelter? • Are they crate trained? • Do they obey commands when off-leash? • Daily routine: feeding times, portion sizes, walk schedules, and bedtime habits. • Personality and temperament: whether the pet is shy, anxious, energetic, or needs extra reassurance. • Can they entertain themselves and for how long? • Do they require medications, have any allergies, special diets, or have any medical conditions? • What behavior quirks do they have, i.e., fears (storms, fireworks), triggers, escape tendencies, or habits we should watch for? • How much activity they require and their favorite types of play or walks. • What words or cues the pet responds to, and any house rules. • Where they normally sleep and whether they’re used to human companionship at night. • Emergency contacts: veterinarian information and what to do if something unexpected happens. Knowing these details helps us keep your pets comfortable, safe, and happy while maintaining the routines they’re used to.

When we care for dogs, we like to keep them active, happy, and engaged. Some of the fun activities we enjoy with them include: • Daily walks and neighborhood exploring to give them exercise and new scents to discover. • Playtime in the yard or park with balls, frisbees, or their favorite toys. • Training and mental games like simple commands, treat puzzles, or hide-and-seek to keep their minds sharp. • Relaxing companionship—quiet time, brushing, belly rubs, and lots of attention. • Adventure outings (when owners approve), such as nature walks or visiting dog-friendly parks. We treat every dog like part of the family and tailor activities to match their energy level, personality, and routine so they feel safe, stimulated, and loved.
