To provide the best care for your pet, it’s essential that I understand their unique needs and personality. Before your pet stays with me, please share the following information: Health and Medical History: Let me know about any medical conditions, allergies, or special dietary needs your pet has. This includes any medications they require and instructions for administering them. Emergency Contact Information: Specify how you want me to handle emergencies and provide details on a backup contact and your pet's veterinary services in case of an urgent situation. Behavior and Temperament: It's important to understand your pet's behavior, including how they interact with other dogs and people. Please share any behavioral quirks, anxieties, or triggers, such as fear of loud noises or discomfort around certain types of dogs. Exercise and Activity Level: Tell me about your pet’s typical energy levels and exercise routine. If they have specific activities they enjoy or require, such as long walks or specific playtime routines, please let me know. Socialization and Interaction: Let me know how your pet typically interacts with other dogs and new environments. If they have any preferences for playmates or specific needs in group settings, this information will help me create a positive experience for them. Daily Routine: Share your pet’s daily schedule, including feeding times, bathroom breaks, and any other routines they are accustomed to. Maintaining a consistent routine can help your pet feel more comfortable during their stay. Special Requirements: If your pet has any special requirements or preferences, such as sleeping arrangements, comfort items, or specific types of enrichment activities, please let me know in advance. By providing this information, you help me create a safe, comfortable, and enjoyable experience for your pet, ensuring they receive the best possible care while they’re with me.

A Typical Day with Me: **Early Morning: We kick off the day with a refreshing longer walk, setting the tone for an active, happy day. **Mid-Morning to Noon: Your dog will be involved in household activities, keeping them engaged and feeling right at home. **Afternoon: After a busy morning, we take a shorter walk to stretch their legs and enjoy some fresh air. **Rest Time: Following the walk, it’s time to unwind. Your dog can relax in a cozy spot of their choice. **Evening: We head out for another longer walk, ensuring your dog gets plenty of exercise before settling down for the night. ***Supervised Play Throughout the Day: Your dog will enjoy supervised play sessions, keeping them entertained and socialized. ***Work From Home/Hybrid Work: Since I work a lot of time from home, your dog will have company all day, with plenty of attention and care. When I need to step out for work, rest assured that your dog will never be left unsupervised with dogs from other families. Safety and comfort are my top priorities. I’m passionate about keeping dogs active and engaged through both physical exercise and mental enrichment. I love running and walking with dogs, as well as playing with their favorite toys to keep them stimulated. I believe that varied environments provide the best exercise, so I make it a priority to walk dogs in different locations to keep things fresh and exciting. We’re fortunate to live near the Wobegon and Dairyland State Trails, which offer perfect settings for adventurous or high-energy dogs. If your dog loves exploring, they might join me on a hike along these scenic trails, ensuring they get the exercise and mental stimulation they need to stay happy and healthy.
