01
Share the real routine
Write down feeding times, walk patterns, sleep arrangements, commands, anxieties and the small habits that make your dog feel secure.
Mention anything that has changed recently. Honest detail helps the carer plan a calm stay.
- Food and measured portions
- Medication and written instructions
- Lead, harness and familiar item
- Veterinary and emergency contacts
- Behavioural and household notes

Plan the introduction
A consultation or trial gives everyone useful information before a longer booking. Keep handover calm and provide clear contact arrangements for the stay.
Vaccinations and any health requirements should be confirmed in good time, not on the morning of travel.
