I grew up around dogs! I owned a German Shepherd/Lab and a Golden Retriever growing up and currently have 2 huskies! I will make sure that your dog gets plenty of attention during my visit and that they are ready for a nap until you get home. I will make sure they are properly fed and have plenty of water (maybe a treat or two) and that they are let out frequently for the bathroom. I have never met a dog that didn't enjoy getting some extra petting, attention, and play time from me. I am available a majority of the time! Especially during the middle of the day when your dog gets to the point of really needing to go to the bathroom. There could even be a possibility of dog play dates as well!
