*I am okay with Giant dogs too as long as they are well-tempered and not very jumpy (other than playtime!) I am fine with any breed of dog or cat! I generally prefer that they are used to other people and are not afraid of strangers. I completely understand if they are shy at first as it's normal (especially for cats). If there are certain words or commands you use with your dog/cat, let me know! That way I can continue their care in the manner that they are accustomed to. If there is somewhere in the house that they should not go, please do let me know - big puppy eyes and small kitty mews can convince you of anything! Other things to note: any allergies, bad habits to avoid/look out for (peeing in the house, scratching furniture, etc), any possible triggers to avoid inside or outside the home, and how they are with other animals (particularly for outdoor adventures).

I typically like to stick with the "regular route" - typically what you, the owner tells me! However if I am staying with your dog for a long amount of time (say longer than a week), I may explore other paths nearby the typical route, given that it is safe for myself and your dog (I always bring poop bags no matter what!). If it's okay with the owner, I may venture out with your dog to a local state park, dog friendly business with outdoor-seating, etc, for a special adventure! When we are at home, I will play with your dog - whether that means chasing each other, tug of war, playing fetch, or teaching/practicing tricks! Once they're tired out, it's usually lots of continuous petting (unless they don't like that) and chilling out time for us both.
