Before caring for your dog, it is really important for me to understand their routine, needs, and personality so I can make them feel as comfortable as possible. I like to know their feeding schedule, walking routine, energy level, and any medical needs or medications. It is also helpful to understand their behaviour such as how they are around other dogs or people, any triggers or fears, and what helps them feel calm. I also ask about their favourite activities, toys, and any training cues or commands they know so I can keep things consistent. The more I know ahead of time, the better I can create a safe, familiar, and positive experience for your dog.

I love keeping dogs active, engaged, and happy while they’re in my care. Activities always depend on each dog’s personality and energy level, but I make sure every day includes a mix of exercise, play, and comfort. That can look like walks, playtime in the yard, games like fetch or tug, and even some light training or enrichment activities to keep their minds busy. For more relaxed or senior dogs, I focus on gentle walks, calm companionship, and lots of attention at their pace. No matter the dog, I aim to create a routine that feels fun, safe, and familiar so they’re not just cared for, but genuinely enjoying their time.
