I have a dog of my own and very pet friendly, I make sure they earn their treats instead of just give it to them. Occasionally I give her people food but if I do its in her own bowl, to prevent begging. I enjoy walking myself so walks is not an issue at all. Unfortunately I live in a trailer park but I own my trailer and plenty of room to run, plus I have a pond and park about 100 feet from me. I have 1 dog and 2 cats who are all pet and people friendly. No I will not bring them with me, my friend will watch my pets at home for me. I also usually have lavender scents throughout the house, if requested to not have such things around your pet I understand n will keep put up in sealed containers although the lavender scents as im sure you know is very soothing for everyone including animals.
