A
home
routine,
not
a
packed
schedule
Some days are active. Some are quiet. Most are a mix of both.
I work from home, so guest dogs spend much of the day nearby rather than being left alone for long stretches. Depending on the dog, the weather, and the day, we may spend time in the house, the insulated garage where I work, or the fenced backyard.
A typical stay may include morning play or training, a walk or park visit, time outside, rest while I work, and more activity later in the day.
I usually plan for at least around an hour and a half of intentional exercise, play, or attention throughout the day, but the routine is adjusted to the individual dog.
Guest dogs live inside the home and spend much of the day nearby while I work. A typical stay may include backyard time, walks or park visits, play, rest, and plenty of downtime.
At night, your dog sleeps in their own large crate in my bedroom, with Xoco in her own crate in the same room.
IS THIS A FIT?
