Here are the key things I’d ask about your dog ahead of time to make sure they’re safe, comfortable, and well cared for: • Routine: Feeding schedule, portion sizes, walk times, sleep habits • Temperament & behavior: Friendly with strangers? Other dogs? Any anxiety or triggers? • Medical needs: Medications, allergies, past injuries, vet info, emergency contact • Diet: Food type, treats allowed, anything they can’t have • Exercise needs: Energy level, favorite activities, how long/ often they need walks • Training & commands: Basic commands they know, leash behavior, house rules • House rules: Furniture access, crate use, potty routine, off-limit areas • Safety concerns: Escape risks, things they like to chew or get into • Emergency plan: What to do and who to contact if something comes up This helps me keep your dog on their normal routine and make sure they feel comfortable and stress-free.

I like to keep pets active, engaged, and happy while I’m with them. Depending on the pet, I’ll do things like walks, playtime with toys, fetch, or light training games to keep them mentally stimulated. For more relaxed pets, I’ll spend time giving attention, cuddles, and companionship. I also enjoy taking dogs outside for fresh air or short adventures, and making sure every pet feels safe, comfortable, and cared for while having fun.
