I have over 15 years experience dog sitting in my home and at clients homes. We are dog lovers. I have watched little dogs up to large dogs. We walk them, play with them as well as let them run in my 1/2 acre fenced in yard. On the weekends we walk on walking trails. If the client allows their dog on the couch, we will cuddle and watch TV with their dog on the couch. I do work during the day (outside the home; gone typically 7 hours) then home in the evenings and weekends. I have a 7 year old daughter who also plays with them endlessly and gives them extra TLC. Your four legged family member will be treated like our family member.
