Please let me know any important details about your dog in advance, such as separation anxiety, medication instructions, or special routines. For everyone’s comfort and safety, I only accept small dogs (for example, Dachshunds, Shih Tzus, etc.). My own dog is not comfortable around large or aggressive dogs. I host up to two new client dogs at a time, and may accommodate one to two additional dogs from repeat clients. I do not board unspayed dogs under five months old, as my dog may bully younger puppies. Our family schedule is generally flexible, but advance notice is always appreciated. If all goes smoothly, I typically send photo and video updates in the evening after 9:00 PM.

We usually start our day around 8:00 AM. After I finish my son’s morning routine, the dogs go out to the fenced yard for their first potty break. Once they’re back inside, I prepare their meals and they eat alongside our family. If I go into the office, another family member is always home to manage care during the day, including yard breaks every 2–4 hours. In the afternoon or evening, either I or another family member takes the dogs out for a leashed walk. Dinner time for both the family and the dogs is typically around 5:30 PM. Evenings are calm and relaxed, and bedtime usually falls between 9:00–10:00 PM, aligned with my son’s sleep schedule.
