I live in a 2-story townhouse with vinyl plank and tile flooring throughout. There are big rugs in the living, dining, and bedrooms for grip. I have an approximately 300 sqft fenced backyard that is connected by a door to my neighbors 300 sqft fenced backyard. I have a friendly Toy Poodle name Ryder (male, neutered, 6 lbs) and my neighbor has 2 Maltipoos name Bentley (male, not fixed, 14 y/o, 11 lbs) and Aston (male, neutered, 1.5 y/o, 15 lbs) to keep your fur baby company. If your dog is older, dislikes high energy pups, or is a female (spayed or not), I can easily keep them away from my neighbors dogs if you prefer. All dogs will have their paws, wee wee and butt wiped after every walk upon entering the house so they can be on my furniture. Dogs boarded in my home will generally sleep in bed with me, so if they are dirty, they will receive a bath and blowout before bedtime.

Our typical day is flexible depending on the pup whether they are young or old and what they are accustomed to so it’s important for me to know their schedule for walks and meals. If your dog isn’t on a strict schedule, they start with a brief 15-25 minute walk around my neighborhood between 8AM - 10AM. Every single time pups come back inside the house throughout the day, they’ll have their paws, wee wee and butt wiped in exchange for a small treat. Then it’s time for their first meal (if they eat twice a day). Depending on what time they went outside in the morning, they can go back outside (in the backyard) as often as every 2-hours for puppies or every 3-4 hours for older dogs. In the evenings around 5PM-7PM we’ll go on another walk to socialize and sniff the neighborhood pups for 30-60 minutes. Dinner will be around 7PM (unless preferred differently). Throughout the day, I like to simulate them with puzzles, jolly dog game on iPad, watch Disney movies or Bluey, or play fetch. In the summers, they are prone to smelling like the sun so they’ll get a waterless shampoo and brush midday. I like to desensitize pups with lots of pets and often observe their nails and fur in the process, then I’m incline to trim their nails or fur around their butt to keep them clean only with parents consent and if pups allow me to. Dogs who allow me to groom them get compensated with treats for their trust. On days that I have lunch plans with friends, pups come with me and we enjoy the patio.
