Please let me know about any special behavioral issues or health conditions your dog might have such as allergies, hip or joint difficulties, or if he/she needs medication. Is he on a restricted diet? Do loud noises such as fireworks or thunder make him nervous and anxious? Does your dog prefer to spend time with others or is he more of the quiet type? How does he feel about cats? Does he hate the postman? What about the gardener? All dogs who stay with me must be current on their vaccinations, including Bordetella, and should wear a collar with an ID tag indicating the dog's name & contact information for the owner.

Activities may include walks in the neighborhood or at local parks, horsing around with other dogs if your dog likes to socialize, sampling dog snacks and treats, playing in the wading pool, chasing toys and possibly a lizard or interesting bug, too. And, of course, plenty of stimulating conversation and ear-scratching from me!
