I have a fenced in yard and have cat toys and scratching posts for cats. I have dog toys as well. I love to walk so when you bring your dog to me he/she will be sure to get a couple of walks a day. If you need me to go to your home to look after your pet and walk your dog, I am happy to do that as well.

Information Shirlea F. would like to know about your pet

To ensure your pet has the best experience, I’d love to know a few details ahead of time: Daily Routine: What is your pet’s typical daily schedule? Knowing their usual feeding times, bathroom breaks, and activity levels helps me maintain their routine and comfort. Behavioral Traits: Does your pet have any specific behaviors or quirks? Whether they’re shy around new people, anxious during thunderstorms, or love to chase squirrels, understanding these traits allows me to provide the right care. Medical Needs: Please share any medical conditions, medications, or dietary restrictions. I want to ensure your pet’s health needs are fully met while they’re with me. Social Preferences: How does your pet interact with other dogs, animals, and people? If they prefer solo walks or have certain play preferences, I’ll make sure their social time is tailored to their comfort. Favorite Activities: What are your pet’s favorite toys, games, or places to visit? I aim to create a fun and enjoyable experience, so knowing what makes them happiest helps me plan our day together. Emergency Contact: It’s helpful to have an emergency contact number and your preferred vet’s information, just in case.

A typical day

Your dog's day with me will be full of fun, love, and plenty of tail-wagging adventures! We'll start the morning with a refreshing walk, giving your pup the chance to stretch their legs and explore the neighborhood. If your dog loves a good run, we'll hit the nearby park or a local trail for some energetic exercise. Mid-morning, we'll engage in interactive playtime, tailored to your dog's preferences. Whether it's a game of fetch, tug-of-war, or practicing their favorite tricks, I'll make sure your dog gets plenty of mental and physical stimulation. I also incorporate puzzle toys or scent games to keep their minds sharp and engaged. After some playtime, we'll have a relaxing break where your pup can rest and recharge, possibly with some cozy snuggle time if they enjoy it. In the afternoon, we'll have another walk or play session, this time focusing on social interaction if your dog is comfortable with meeting other dogs. If they prefer one-on-one attention, we'll explore new areas or engage in more personalized activities. Before winding down for the evening, we'll spend some quiet time together, making sure your dog feels calm and content. This could include brushing, gentle petting, or just relaxing in a peaceful spot. Your dog's happiness and well-being are my top priorities, so each day is customized to suit their unique needs and personality.
