A Typical Day in My Care

I follow a consistent, predictable schedule to help guest dogs feel secure and settle in quickly:

Morning (7:00 AM – 9:00 AM): A bright and early start! We begin with a morning bathroom break, followed by breakfast. Once breakfast has settled, we head out for our first main walk of the day.

Midday (12:00 PM – 2:00 PM): After a midday potty break, we dive into some mental stimulation—like puzzle toys, light training review, or dedicated indoor playtime.

Afternoon (4:00 PM – 6:00 PM): This is time for our long evening walk to burn off the rest of the day's energy, followed by a well-deserved dinner.

Evening (8:00 PM – 10:00 PM): Wind-down time. We enjoy lots of couch cuddles, a final evening potty break, and a peaceful bedtime setup.

Exercise & Walks

I tailor physical activity entirely to your dog's age, breed, and stamina.

Standard Walk Length: A typical walk lasts 30 to 45 minutes, twice a day, ensuring they get plenty of fresh air and sniffing time.

Custom Pace: For high-energy pups, we can pick up the pace or play fetch. For senior dogs or small breeds, we pivot to shorter, gentle strolls focused on comfort rather than distance.

Safety & Emergency Protocols

Your dog’s safety is my absolute top priority. Because of my experience managing different dog personalities, I am always proactive rather than reactive:

Secure Environment: I maintain a fully dog-proofed space, double-check gate locks, and never leave guest pets unattended in unsecured areas.

On Leash & Alert: I always keep dogs securely leashed during walks and remain highly alert to our surroundings, avoiding unpredictable interactions with unknown off-leash dogs.

Emergency Plan: In the unlikely event of an illness or accident, I am prepared to act instantly. I keep your preferred vet’s contact info, local emergency clinic details, and your emergency contact number readily accessible on my fridge and phone. I will communicate with you immediately if any health or behavior shifts occur.
