I work from home, therefore your friend will not be alone. =) I love walking dogs, but we also have a nice yard where they can run around or chill. I take dogs only from one owner at the same time. So, there will be no other dogs around. And currently I do not have my own pet :( as my gorgeous boxer passed away July 2019, she was 13years old. I used to travel a lot, so I know how hard it is to be apart from your best friends. My commitment is to make it easy and enjoyable for both, you and your friend. My availability on my phone and internet is 24/7 so you can reach out to me at any time of your absence. I myself am open and joyful person, ready to support you =)
