All the dog owners I work with love the fact that I love their dogs like they are my babies. I walk them as well as give them cuddle time. Most dogs need cuddles and need to know you are around for them. I maintain a routine for them. I work from home so always around for them. Of course you will get pictures and little love notes from them when you are gone. I know you miss them and they miss you. I have rescued all my pets and worked thru a lot of issues. I have had a therapy dog and am working on my next therapy dog. I have also fostered pups and will continue fostering them. I always bring my dog when i am house sitting. If you have rules for your pets, I will implement them In your absence. I am quite comfortable with getting meds into them or subcu shots.
