I have 5 dogs of my own! We have a doggy door, so the dogs can access the backyard as needed (others that I’ve watched have had no problem following my squad through the door). I alternate my dog’s meals with home-cooked dog food, and even make my own dog treats! My dog’s are like my children, and I’ll treat yours the same! I have plenty of blankets for your baby to curl up in (my dogs love blankets)! I work during the week, but home most weekends. I’m willing to work with you on keeping your dog during the week after a couple of visits. I do go home for lunch every day and check on my dogs. I honestly don’t have any special skills, just a big heart and plenty of lap space!
