Hi. In addition to basic care, your dog's emotional state of well being is very important to me. I speak gently with them to put them at ease while you travel, cuddle them, gaze into their puppy eyes, give them little dog massages and belly rubs if they like it, and the benefit of the doubt if they act out because they miss you. My father used to forbid dogs on the bed... well, he can't believe having a dog on the bed is now part of my job... unless you want them crated or directed to a specific spot, which I will honor. I'll text update pics if you like as well. I LOVE DOGS and hope to meet yours soon. Happy Travels- Laura
