| commented answer | Dogs only let out of crate to potty once a day? I should have asked for clarification and am kicking myself for not doing that. Of course I am going to do the two drop ins they requested at this point. I have now asked them if there is anyone else checking on them during the day, and if not, asked if I could do additional drop ins. |

| commented answer | Dogs only let out of crate to potty once a day? Thanks for the advice, Walt. You're right, I shouldn't have accepted it. I've reached out to the owners to discuss their care for the day and offered to let the dogs out an additional time(s) . |

| asked a question | Dogs only let out of crate to potty once a day? I got a booking to do two drop-ins for two dogs. One at 6 pm on Friday and one at 6 PM Saturday. In the care instructions it says to let the dogs out of their crates for a 30-minute potty/food break outside and then they should be returned to the crate. So unless the owners are coming back sometime during the day on Saturday the dogs will be in the crate a full 24 hrs. before they are let outside again. I'm assuming the owners are out of town, but I dont know. I'm not trying to accuse them of anything, the dogs seem well cared for otherwise. Just seems like a long time to be crated. Have you had situations like this and how do you deal with them? |
