I know how hard it is to have the trust in someone else to watch your dog. I enjoy the company of a dog or animal more than I do people so I have no issue giving my full attention to them. I've dog sat dogs from the ages of puppy to elderly and know that at any age they all have their own special needs either it be getting energy out or making sure they're on a strict diet and takes their medication on time regularly I am more than willing to do it all. Like I said dogs aren't just animals to me I understand that they're family and should be treated as one especially if they're a guest in my home or I'm in their home. I curerently work at a dog grooming/boarding/rescue so I understand the stress the dog could be feeling when the family leaves.
