I've owned dogs all my life. I'm super responsible and can even send daily pics to your phone while you're away if you'd like that. I work on building a relationship with your dog by playing with them and bringing the occasional treat when I stop by. How could a dog resist that?! They are sure to get plenty of belly rubs and head pats in my presence too. I can adjust my time spent with your dog as well based on your request and my schedule (we will talk about the effect on the rate too, if any). I'm always willing to work out the best situation for your favorite pooch(es) while you are away. After all, they are your family members too!
