I've lived (and loved!) with dogs all my life, so I'm very comfortable handling them, and I've been pet sitting since high school. I live on a farm, so if you're comfortable with your dog coming with me to work, then they'll get to have lots of space for walkies and the opportunity to play with other dogs. It's important that they are good with other dogs though as there are three dogs that live permanently on the farm, and it's best if they aren't aggressive with cats, as there are also two barn cats. If not, then I'm willing to stay over night with them, drive over during lunch to let them out, and then can be back at 5 to look after them again. If they come with me to the farm I'll obviously be able to provide more care.
