I would like to know about your dog's energy level (can't accept dogs requiring more than 2 walks a day), how well they listen to commands and what ones they know, if they have separation issues (whining, barking, stomach problems, destructive behavior), and any special needs they have. If you would like to board, your dog MUST be good with small dogs. I cannot accept dogs who bark too much due to my apartment's noise restrictions. For puppies 0-2 years old, they must be trained well on commands and potty breaks, and be OK inside the house for long periods of time. I will always consider puppies but require a meet and greet prior to booking dog boarding only (does not apply to drop ins, home sitting, or daycare) For older dogs, PLEASE SPECIFY SPECIAL NEEDS. I have experience with older dog needs like help up the stairs, diapers, medications, potty problems or bleeding issues, etc., but need to know this prior to solidifying your stay with me. For walks and drop in visits, I would like to know if they are OK around strangers and children and if they tend to pull while leashed (especially for big dogs). Please let me know if they tend to nip as well. I do not have breed preferences as long as they are OK with what's listed above :) I am OK with dogs with special needs for drop ins, just indicate what needs to be done!

My community is dog friendly so there's plenty of space for walks. I enjoy playing tug-of-war or fetch with pups who love to play. I live near the Brightwater trail and nature reserve and that is primarily where I walk.
