I’m a dog groomer of 5 years. I work in a salon that doesn’t cage any dog that doesn’t need to be. I bring my 2 small dogs and any dogs I’m pet sitting with me to work. I will bathe, clean their ears, and trim their nails at no extra cost before the end of their stay with me. My house has a fenced in back yard and I’m two blocks away from a dog park. My job has a dog park right next to it as well, so if your dog is the type who likes dog parks they will definitely get to go often. I can handle a lot of dogs at one time, I grew up with 8 dogs at one time in my house, most being large breed with the biggest being 190 pounds. I only work 4 days a week so I am home a lot.
