I stay and watch my friend/neighbors dogs occasionally when they need assistance. I can be firm, but not overly so with the animals and I will play with them and also pick up after them. I have transportation. Your beloved pets will be well taken care of and I know different fun ways to entertain the dog. I would definitely pick up after the dogs even and I can handle it even if they're teething or bark a lot. I will make sure the dog is well cared for and has safe fun! Animals are amazing and deserve to be well cared for always :)
