I have grown up with dogs my whole life. I will give your dog lots of love and attention, if they need space I will accomadate to make them feel safe, comfortable and warm. I understand your dog is truly special to you and I would take care of him/her as if it was my own, they will get lots of love from my daughter but also keep her distance and learn that not all dogs like to be smothered. Your dog will be in a safe and comfortable place. If we go on walks I dont mind stopping at every tree to let them sniff. Basically whatever makes your dog comfortable i'll attend to whatever needs are needed to make you and your dog happy. Note* I live in a studio upstairs , downstairs is another family that have 2 dogs of their own. You dog would not be associated or interact with their dogs at all. Your dog would sleep and stay in our room. During the day my daughter would take ur dog outside into the backyard for some free time and play and do whatever he needs to do then we would spend majority of time in our room. If your okay with our living arrangement then I would love for your sweet dog to spend the day/weekend with us.
