I make personal connection with all animals, i engage in play time and make sure my pets are always comfortable. Every pet/animal must be treated with respect and love. This is how one gains trust. If you're worried about unwanted snacking during sitting or overnights, snacks will always be vegan or of course if one comes with a set of rules for a pup. They will be followed down to the letter. Walks might conisit of a trip to a close park, or Cole park. This way the pups can get a nice outing with a great veiw. My back yard is gated but i still use a leash if taking my own pup out for potty breaks so expect the same for your fur babies as well.
