It’s important for me to know about their daily schedule, including feeding times, potty breaks, and exercise needs. Understanding their behavior is essential—how they react to new people, other animals, or certain situations helps me keep them comfortable and safe. I also check for any medical conditions, allergies, or medications they might need, as well as emergency contact information and their vet's details. Knowing their favorite toys, games, and any fears or triggers (like loud noises or being left alone) helps me provide a fun, stress-free experience tailored to their personality.

When watching dogs, I focus on keeping them happy, active, and comfortable with a variety of fun and engaging activities. I love taking them on walks to explore new sights and smells, which also gives them great exercise. Playtime is a must—whether it’s a game of fetch, tug-of-war, or chasing after squeaky toys, I make sure they’re having a blast. For mental stimulation, I use treat puzzles or practice basic training commands to keep their minds sharp. If the dog enjoys socializing, I might arrange safe, supervised play with other friendly dogs. Of course, every dog is different, so I always adjust the activities based on their energy level, personality, and comfort. And after all the excitement, there’s always time for belly rubs, snuggles, or just relaxing together.
