Before caring for your pet, I like to learn about their overall health and safety needs. Please let me know if their vaccinations are up to date, any medications they take (including dosage and schedule), allergies, or past injuries and medical conditions. This helps me make sure they stay safe and comfortable while in my care. I also like to understand their personality and behavior. How do they do with other dogs and new people? Do they have any fears or triggers, like loud noises or separation anxiety? Let me know about any unique quirks or habits so I can adjust my approach and make them feel secure. It’s important for me to follow your pet’s normal routine as closely as possible. Please share their feeding schedule, food type, potty routine, sleep preferences (crate, bed, or free roam), and general energy level. I also love incorporating enrichment, so let me know their favorite toys, activities, or any training you’d like reinforced. Lastly, I always like to have emergency information on hand, including your contact information, a backup emergency contact, and your veterinarian’s details. The more I know ahead of time, the better I can provide a safe, smooth, and stress-free experience for your pet.

A typical day includes morning walks, playtime, and lots of attention. We’ll spend time at the fenced dog park (if approved), play fetch or tug, and work on basic commands for mental stimulation. I stick to feeding schedules and potty routines, and make sure there’s downtime for rest and cuddles. I adjust activities based on your dog’s energy level, whether they love to run and play or prefer calm walks and belly rubs.
