We have had a Labrador and a Schnauzer the most amazing family members. We are well aware of dog’s needs from brushing to activities outside. Nothing excites me and my fiancee more than seeing a dog happy! Im fully working from home so very flexible with any sort of arrangement. Mostly not available on bank holidays but early arrangements can work Most weekends are ok! We live by the river so would spend a lof of time outdoors. Regarding dog’s safety in the flat, we could use an open specious dog crate if this is agreed with the owner
