It's important to know the strengths and weaknesses of each pet. Afraid of a certain gender, a runner, an escape artist. As well as triggers like loud noises, fireworks, etc. Please provide all pertinent medical history and medical emergency information. Please understand that this is a job. I love your pets, but it is not the only one I am taking care of today. I may not be there right at the time you scheduled. I prioritize pets on medications and sometimes it sets off my schedule. I may be a bit early or a bit late. If you need a very specific time, please communicate that.

I have found that fetch can be some of the best exercise. But living in Colorado can limit the outdoor activities during certain times of the year. It's important to tailor the type of exercise to the type of breed, time of day, and time of year. I currently have a golden retriever, she's a 45 pound runt. But overheating is a risk for any dog. So we have to play fetch and walk in the morning during most of June, all of July, and at least half of August. And the rest of the day is limiting play time outside and focusing on how to stay active inside. The rest of the year we focus on balancing our fetch and walk sessions with lots of cuddles, affection, and training.
