Whether you are adopting a new dog, fostering, or watching a dog temporarily in your home, this guide is with you, your current pets, and your new dog’s peace and happiness in mind. This guide is built based on what I’ve learned over the years through pet sitting and dog walking, as well as, from my experiences fostering a dog for the first time.

When you bring a pet home for the first time, especially when it’s the first one you are the primary caretaker for, you don’t always realize the full extent of whats to come. The beautiful things, the hard things, the ways they support you, the ways they make life better, the adventures you go on together, the things they inspire you to do, the peace that they bring you, the security they bring, the entertainment :-), the pure joy, and companionship that they bring. You don’t fully realize what it’s going to be like until you live life with them, and experience life with them over time.

What better way to spend quality time with your dog during the fall, than hitting the trail to see the beautiful fall colors? Here are some trails that are not known for their fall colors, and are frequented by locals to soak in their beauty.

Wouldn’t it be great it there was an EASY TRICK to help your elderly dog stay on the go?! At some point in your pet parent life you’re going to experience your dog getting older. We know, it can be overwhelming to thing about your sweet pup aging, but we want to help prepare you and your dog enjoy all stages of life.

For dogs that have anxiety, are bored, becoming needy, or just need something to do!
