A typical day

What a typical day looks like for your furry friends while they're staying with us. In the morning, we start by making sure your dogs have a hearty breakfast and your cats have their meals too. After that, we take the dogs out for a walk to stretch their legs and attend to their bathroom needs. Throughout the day, I provide plenty of playtime and individual attention. I monitor their activities, making sure everyone is socializing well and staying active. Dogs get to interact and play with other friendly dogs. I ensure that their living areas are always clean and comfortable and dogs have clean bedding and toys. Any necessary medications are administered at the appropriate times. In the afternoon, dogs enjoy another outdoor session and playtime. Rest assured, I keep a close eye on their health and behavior. If I notice anything unusual, I'll reach out to you, also an on call vet of your choice, to address any concerns promptly. At the end of the day, your pets have dinner and a final round of playtime before settling down for a cozy night's sleep. We know how much your pets mean to you, so we make sure to send you regular updates and pictures to let you know how they're doing. I'm committed to creating a safe, enjoyable, and loving environment for your pets during their stay. If you have any specific preferences or instructions, please let me know.

She was amazing! I appreciated that she was flexible and willing to work with me as things changed. Her home was cozy and prepared for the cats. She sent tons of photos and videos, which was so sweet! As a person she has a kind and welcoming demeanor. I appreciate all that she did and would definitely consider using her services again.

Yamada did a great job with my large pup Sebastian. She asked all the right questions during our meet and greet and left me assured that my high-energy pup will be in good hands during my travels. Yamada also sent pictures daily which provided me with an additional layer of comfort. A++
