Daycare Meet & Greets
An opportunity for you and your dog to visit Terra Nova Canines before starting daycare. We’ll discuss your dog’s personality, routines, and needs, answer your questions, and let them explore the space with you nearby. This introduction helps me determine whether my small-group daycare is a good fit before arranging a trial day.
Live-In Pet Care Meet & Greets
A chance to meet in your home before your booking so I can get to know your pets and review their care. We’ll discuss feeding, exercise, medications, routines, and any household instructions, along with access and emergency arrangements. It’s also a chance to ask questions and make sure everyone feels comfortable before your time away.
