I have house sit for many dogs before. My neighbors dog is blind, deaf and lost the sense of smell and I took care of her very well and gave her the company she needed. I have taken care of a dog with diabetes and I can tell when a dog needs to see the vet. When I am with the dogs, I love to give them attention since I cannot always be there so when I am it is all fun and games or just quite company depending on the mood of your dog!
