This is for my dog, Jack!

 

6-7:30ish-I wake up. If he slept in my room/bed I'll hug him for a bit.

 

7:45-Feed breakfast (one cup of food and an egg), replenish water, let him outside

 

Potty breaks whenever he goes to the door usually a few times, and a short walk 4 times a week at 10:30

 

12:00 Jack goes to my mom for rubs (yap, thats a thing)

 

1:00ish-Jack goes on a longerish walk (depends on weather and how hes feeling) with my mom and sometimes me

 

2-3:45-chillll time with Jack, maybe a game of fetch or smth depending on the wheather

 

4: dinner (One cup of food and some sort of treat)'

 

5: we eat dinner, he gets a few scraps, practice tricks

 

6:  Jack settles down

 

8: usually asleep by now, though he'll wake up and go back to sleep periodically

 

3: He likes to move sleeping places at crazy times 0-0

 

Note-Jack is currently recovering from an injury (dont worry, he is healing well and he saw a vet) so his normal schedule is way more active :)

10AM: Put Mocha in her kennel, bring Lily out, feed her.

12pm: Put Lily away, let Mocha out.

2:30pm: Go for a 2 mile walk with Mocha.

3pm: Kennel Mocha, let Lily out.

3:30pm: Go work with the horses while Mom walks Lily. (Lily’s walk time varies, I often walk her)

5pm: Let Mocha out, put Lily away, go feed the horses.

7pm: Kennel Mocha for the night, let Lily out.

10pm: Feed the geckos, let Emerald out for half an hour while I wipe down her wheel.

Multiple play sessions with Lily and Mocha throughout the day, not at set times.

Well, that’s pretty much it.

You see a lot of crate time and stuff for daisy, that's because we're trying to get her used to being in it since shes a destructive dog, and just a puppy. Im not cruel i promise!

I don't really have a routine but:

 

- During the day - Spot cleaning / "big cleaning" (as needed/when I have time)

 

- Evening- feed all the animals (one hamster and four gerbils of my own plus assorted fosters and boarders). Change water. Then spend a couple of hours free roaming and handling whoever needs it.

For my 2 dogs, 1 cat, 3 fish tanks, and 2 guinea pigs, my schedule is kinda mixed up but:

 

Morning: Wake up, feed dogs. Open windows for guinea pigs and put out my sprouts that I'm growing for my guinea pigs. Pick up dog poo in backyard. 

 

Throughout the day: Replenish hay, fill up dog's waters. 

 

Evening: Feed fish, replenish pellets for guinea pigs, feed guinea pigs veggies, refill cat's food bowl, feed dogs, take dogs out for walk. 

 

Once a week: Completely change out bedding with guinea pigs, water change fish tanks. 

 

That's it!

ok i guess i'll list what i did when i had maple. it's not a specific routine and i didn't have an exact time designated for everything, but i usually did all of this in the evening:

 

-clean out/sift the sand in the sand bath

-pick out poop (i literally dug in the bedding and picked out every single piece of poop in an area and it was exhausting lol)

-clean the wheel if it's dirty enough

-check to see if the water bottle is still working

-change out some toys (not really a routine but whatever)

-refill the food bowl/sometimes scatter feed if it's the day to feed again

5am: Let dog out to pee, feed him, let him out after he eats to poop
630am: Feed fish, feed Guinea pigs their veggies, restock guinea pigs hay log, add oxbow pellets for the day; make sure all the water bottles full
7am: vacuum/spot clean all cages and under their cages
Noon: let dog out again
4pm or so: let guinea pigs have floor time
5pm: walk dog
6pm: let chinchillas out individually, refresh their hay and oxbow pellets and water as needed
I also give the guineas their evening veggies at this time
I feed the fish once again
Bedtime: make sure guinea pigs got hay and water for the night; and give chinchillas plenty of applewood chews for the night.

Weekly:
Change chinchillas fleece
Change Guinea pigs substrate (KILN DRIED pine shavings)
Change 25% water on aquariums

I did breed reptiles and I cleared my entire living room to do this, but I recently sold them all because it got to be too much work, it was to be a side business after all.

I do keep 1 reptiles only in my house now - an elderly special care bearded dragon that I didn’t want to give away because she’s a retired breeder she’s 14 and she needs be fed and handled a certain way.

Pets
1 dog
2 chinchillas
2 guinea pigs
1 bearded dragon - named Grandma (her name was princess when younger) lol
125 discus community tank
55 cold water axolotl tank I’m working on

I can tell you a little bit about my Kobe. He is my restless whippet. I decided to get one after visiting https://cleverpuppies.com/how-fast-can-whippets-run/. I'm just as restless as he is. You can't call our everyday routine. Walks turn into games. He especially loves the ball. Perhaps in his past life, he played rugby. I love the way Kobe meets me after work. He has so much unspent love in him. Even when I'm working around the house, he tries to help me by grabbing a tool and dragging it to me. We often watch TV together. Otherwise, it's like all dog people.
