I have taken care of my own golden retriever, Fudge, for about 10 years, walking her at least 3 times a week. After that I have taken care of my neighbor's Labrador for a few years every summer! On walks, I let the dogs sniff as much as they would like and I always carry plastic bags for any accidents along the way. My usual routine is that after every feed, I spend about half an hour playing with the dogs. If your dog needs grooming, I can brush them as well. while taking care of your dogs, I have no objection to watering a few plants (or anything to the likes of that) while in your house. My hours are usually very flexible, and I am usually available from about 10 am-9pm.
