I grew up around animals (farm animals, homeless animals...) There is nothing that I enjoy more than spending time with animals, especially dogs. I have dealt with loving ones,and I have dealt with mean ones; I am alright with crazy dogs, too. I am very good at entertaining dogs; I might seem a little weird in the eyes of other humans, but the dogs love it when you get creative with them. Trust me, if I can make a whole group of pre-teens kids go outside and have fun with the sun, I assure you that I can make your dog have fun while you are gone. I'll turn those sad thoughts into lots of playful barking and tale wagging. I know the drill; I won't disappoint you, or your dog(s).
