A Shih Tzu usually needs proof of rabies, distemper and parvovirus vaccination, plus Bordetella cover, with canine influenza required by some facilities.

A Shetland Sheepdog usually needs proof of rabies, distemper and parvovirus vaccination, plus Bordetella cover, and some facilities also ask for canine influenza.

A Chihuahua usually needs the same boarding proof as any dog: a current rabies certificate, distemper and parvovirus cover, and Bordetella protection, with canine influenza required by some facilities. Because Chihuahuas are tiny and can skip meals when stressed, add precise feeding notes, your vet's number, and an…
A boarding facility will usually ask your Cavalier King Charles Spaniel for proof of rabies, distemper and parvovirus vaccination, plus Bordetella cover for kennel cough, and some also request canine influenza. Alongside the certificates, bring your vet's contact details, an emergency contact, and written feeding and…
A Boxer usually needs proof of current rabies, distemper and parvovirus, and kennel cough vaccination to board, with flu cover required by some facilities.

A Border Collie usually needs proof of current rabies, distemper and parvovirus, and kennel cough vaccination for boarding, and some facilities also ask about flu cover.

Pack a Siberian Husky's food portioned for the week, a secure well-fitted harness and lead, a brush for her shedding coat, tough toys, and blunt written rules about gates, doors, and never letting her off lead in unfenced places. Huskies are gifted escape artists with a strong roaming instinct, so the sitter needs the…
Pack a Shih Tzu's measured food for the week, his harness, a brush and comb, spare topknot bands, face wipes, and notes on daily grooming, short walks, and staying cool. A Shih Tzu's coat and face need attention every single day, so write the routine down in order rather than assuming a sitter will spot a tangling…
Pack a Shetland Sheepdog's measured food for the week, her lead and harness, a brush for her double coat, a favourite toy, and notes on her cues, sensitivities, and what triggers barking. Shelties are sensitive readers of households, so ask the sitter to keep voices, visitors, and routines gentle and predictable while…
Pack a Doberman's food portioned for the week, the strong lead and harness he already works in, a coat for cold mornings, puzzle toys, his bed, and notes on exercise, feeding rest, and his velcro attachment to his people. Dobermans bond intensely, so tell the sitter to expect a shadow for the first days and to keep…
Pack a Chihuahua's pre-measured meals, a snug harness, a warm sweater or coat, a burrow-style bed, and notes on frequent toilet trips, handling, and keeping her warm. Everything about a dog this small runs on a smaller scale, so write down exact portion sizes and warn the sitter never to leave her unsupervised around…
Pack a Cavalier King Charles Spaniel's measured food for the week, his soft harness, a brush for his long ears, a blanket carrying home's scent, and notes on feeding, company, and gentle walks. Cavaliers are bred to be close companions and can fret when left alone for long stretches, so ask the sitter to keep him…
Pack a Boxer's own food portioned for seven days, a sturdy lead he already walks on, a drool towel, chew toys, his bed, and notes on greetings, feeding, and cooling down. Boxers greet the world at full bounce, so tell the sitter how you manage the first minutes with visitors and how much play is enough before he gets…
Pack a Boston Terrier's measured food for the week, a harness rather than a collar for walks, a burrowing blanket, a favourite soft toy, and notes on feeding, snoring, and keeping him cool. Boston Terriers feel heat quickly through their short muzzles, so tell the sitter to walk him in the cooler parts of the day and…
Pack a Border Collie's own food pre-portioned for seven days, his usual lead and harness, a bed that smells of home, puzzle feeders and a fetch toy, plus written notes on walk length, commands, and what settles him. A Collie left under-exercised will invent jobs, so spell out two proper outings a day and the brain…
Pack for a week with a Bernese Mountain Dog at a sitter's home around scale and stomach: pre-measured meals for every day plus a small buffer, the usual treats only, and written rest-after-meals guidance. Add the harness and sturdy leash that fit this giant, a brush for the heavy coat, towels for wet paws and drool,…
Leave your Siberian Husky's sitter an escape-prevention brief first: this breed digs, climbs, and slips collars, so spell out gate checks, the secure harness setup, and never off leash outside a truly secure fence. Then cover the serious daily exercise that keeps a Husky settled, measured meals, the strong prey drive…
Leave your Shih Tzu's sitter a grooming-led brief: daily brushing so the coat does not mat, how you clean around the eyes, and the topknot or clipped-coat routine your dog is used to. Add heat caution for this flat-faced breed, short and gentle walks, measured meals with a note on stubborn toilet habits and the exact…
Leave your Shetland Sheepdog's sitter notes on shyness, barking, and coat care. Shelties are sensitive and often reserved with strangers, so explain that the dog may hide at first, should never be chased or cornered, and settles faster with a quiet routine and the same few phrases you use. Add what triggers the…
Leave your Doberman's sitter honest, capable-hands information: how strong the dog is on leash, the commands it reliably answers, and how it behaves with visitors, other dogs, and delivery people at the door. Dobermans are loyal, sensitive, and powerful, so cover the exercise plan, measured meals with rest after…
Leave your Chihuahua's sitter careful notes on warmth, handling, and small, frequent meals. Explain that this tiny breed gets cold quickly, where its sweaters and blankets live, and that it should be lifted with two hands supporting chest and rear — never by the legs or scruff. Cover scheduled meals so a small dog…
