I have a lot of experiences with home-stays and with walking dogs. When doing home-stays, I am very attentive to the dogs, am playful with them and take them on walks at least twice a day. I do my best to give them the exercise they need, especially when they are high energy dogs. When walking dogs, I like to take a different route each time and to take the time to play with them outside for a bit. Some walks included walking to the dog park, playing for a while, then head home, which usually lowers the dogs' energy level. I do about 30-45 minute walks and have a flexible schedule. With having a flexible schedule communication is very important. I am prompt with my responses.
