Dogs that we house sit will never be alone for more than 4 hours at a time. They will get exercise at least twice a day and companionship from a friendly 8 year old yellow lab and a 1 year old black lab that we have at home. Dogs that stay the weekend with us can get trips to the dog park or the beach. If that's not their type of activity I'm also more than willing to snuggle up on the couch and be lazy with them. I can be an early riser for morning walks before the heat kicks in or a late night walk if that's your pets routine. I am willing to take any length of walk your pet requires at any pace. I understand that every animal has different exercise requirements. If I'm dropping in I will make sure your pet has been properly exercised so they are ready to curl up for a nap.
