I am a dog mom myself so I know how important a pet is and take the responsibility seriously. I have a slightly atypical work schedule so I am available to take midday walks and potty breaks and can be home every 5-6 hours. I have 7 years of dog ownership under my belt so I have dealt with it all. I don't get stressed about little stuff. If I am doing overnights I would need to bring my very sweet and mild mannered 19 lb pup, Saul with me. He is two, gets along with every dog we have ever met and has gone dog sitting with me before. If your dog likes dog company this could be a great opportunity for them to play while you're away.
