I work from home majority of the month. I do have to go into the office 2 days a week every other week. My own dog will be a very nice host to your dog as well. He shares his toys, treats and his mama’s lap well with others. I take my dog out every other hour when I work from home. And after work we spend at least an hour outside. I do not have a fenced in yard and will keep your pet on a leash for that play time.
