I take dog sitting very seriously! When dogs are in my home, they are treated like guests! I have an air conditioned home with a large fenced in backyard. My neighborhood is a lovely place for walks. The weekends that I am dog sitting, I will be carefully socializing my dogs with my clients' dogs. When dogs are visiting, I plan to only be away only 2-3 hours at a time. Safety is very important to me, therefore pre-hosting meet and greets are required. Having worked with fosters and rescues I know how important it is to make sure that dogs can decompress when in a new place. My own dogs are crate trained and I prefer to only sit for dogs that are crate trained. I find that it is safer overall, especially when dogs are new to one another or in a new place. When walking my dogs, I choose to walk each one separately, to better protect them in case of an emergency. If I am walking your dog, I plan to do the same. My own dogs sleep in my bed (most nights) but are trained to sleep in their crate as needed. I hope that if a frequent visitor, your dogs can do the same.
