In my own home, I keep my dog Waffles with my at all times (he is great company). This includes hourly checks on his food and water, and frequent play time and walks to keep him entertained and happy. This same treatment will go to each and every pet I have the pleasure of dog-sitting! I understand the importance of creating a comfortable space for the pups if they will be home alone. I will happily take on any routines or arrangements you may already have with your pet. For example on when I must leave my own Waffles at home alone, he has a space that he can call his own. We section off an area where I keep his bed, toys, and food/water to ensure he has all needs covered while alone.
