Your dog has needs, sure- like walking, feeding, and potty time. But what about play? Play is the most rewarding and stimulating part of the day. It provides exercise, engagement, mental stimulation and ends the "bored dog is a bad dog" syndrome that you see in huskies and lab/retrievers. I'm more than happy to stop by during the day and not only see to your dog's needs, but play with them too for the full duration of our time together. Need me for house sitting? Your pup will hardly feel left behind as I stay in the home (with my own provisions) for the full duration of my stay. And yes- I'm sooooo okay to let him/her in the bed if that is something you want. ;D I also house-sit and make visits for cats, as you will see in my gallery photos. :)
