A Typical Day of Dog Sitting or Boarding with Me When a pet stays with me, their day is filled with structure, love, and fun—designed to keep them feeling secure and happy. Morning Routine: We start the day with a gentle wake-up and a morning potty break, followed by fresh water and a healthy breakfast. After breakfast, we go on a 30–60 minute walk or enjoy some backyard time, giving them a chance to stretch, sniff, and start the day right. Midday Activities: After some rest time, we move into playtime—indoors or out—depending on the pet’s energy level. For high-energy pups, that could mean fetch, tug-of-war, or enrichment puzzles. For more relaxed pets, it might be brushing, cuddles, or sunbathing. I’ll also do a midday potty break or short walk and offer snacks if provided. Afternoon Chill Time: This is when your pet can nap or just relax in a safe and comfy area of my home. I provide soft beds, light music, and a calm atmosphere. I check in with them regularly, offer water refills, and provide gentle affection. Evening Routine: Dinner is served around the same time you’d normally feed them, followed by another walk or potty break. We wind down with some light activity or relaxation, and I make sure they feel calm and cozy before bedtime. Throughout the Stay: Your pet gets lots of love, attention, and reassurance. I provide real-time updates, photos, and notes about how they’re doing, so you never have to worry. Whether they’re with me for a day or a week, I make sure their stay feels like a second home.
