As a recent retiree from the military, I know that importance of being prompt and on time. I would stick to your schedule, and be readily available. I would be attentive to your dog/s needs as if it were my own. As a child, I was responsibility for the feeding and caring of the dogs what we had, and would hold that same responsibility for caring for your dog/s today as well. I enjoy walking, so there would be no problems with taking your dog/s for walks on a regular bases. I own a cat and really enjoy is companionship. I would have owned a dog, but being single and traveling so much in the military, prevented me from having one, because I would not have been able to love it the way it deserved to be loved and cared for.
