I spend weekends caring for friends' cats and dogs while they are out of town. They will entrust me with their key for the weekend so that their pets can stay in the comfort of their home and surroundings while their owners are away. I visit a few times per day on the weekend or can stay longer and keep the cats and dogs company. I am happy to provide 3-4 walks per day to help them get plenty of exercise. My dog had a sensitive stomach, so I have seen it all and have puppy-proofed many a bathroom. As my dog got older, she needed a mix of rice with dry food, so I'm also used to preparing special diets for dogs with different needs.
