For offsite visits, I'm on time and play with the dogs. If using day care, I live off the main road and have a large privacy fenced back yard that is secure. Dogs may choose shade under the trees or deck or to sun themselves in the open. From May through October we open our swimming pool and dogs who like to swim have that opportunity. Our dogs over the years have all taken full advantage of that. Dogs can entertain themselves chasing the squirrels, rabbits and birds until they exhaust themselves into a nap. Don't worry, the animals all have escape routes the dogs won't fit through. I have been taking care of my own dogs for more than 40 years. This experience certainly translates to taking care of yours.
