We have a furry family member of our own, and we take frequent walks together. The foothills are very close by, and we take full advantage. We will follow whatever rules you would like us to when it comes to where the dog is and isn't allowed. Dogs are welcome on the furniture in our house, but we will keep them off if that is the boundary you maintain. That way noone develops any bad habits during their stay. Our feeling schedule is twice per day, but we can accommodate other schedules as needed. Our goal is to maintain all the routines, boundaries, and behaviors that you have or want to have with your pup.
