Most important to me is specific behaviours to cater to / how best to avoid dependant on the dog and their history (I have experience with reactive and anxious rescues). As well as this, a brief medical history (if relevant) in case of emergency and how they fair around other animals to make sure for the best walking experience. Once those are out of the way, I love to know what their ideal day would look like as well as what their favourite toys and games are to ensure the best visit.

I like to identify what your dogs ideal day would be beforehand so that I can offer the best possible service and build a good relationship with them in case of repeated visits. Lots of walks will be on the cards and hopefully some socialising with other dogs. I love incorporating enrichment play into visits, especially in owners homes so that your pet becomes accustomed to someone new engaging with them within their environment. If you do not own specific enrichment toys (that's fine!), I am used to using their favourite toy (or slipper sometimes) and occasionally treats to play games such as hide and seek with them. I have a very large radius of areas I take requests from so it's hard to pinpoint one specific place. I spend most of my downtime on Hampstead Heath so that would be my most special place for walks but I understand that some owners would rather the safety of being in a smaller park with less animals around in case of reactive pets.
