This is something I have been doing since high school. (So it's been about 10 years now) I do work full time as a but always make an effort to provided love and attention to the dogs I am watching, not just a quick drop-in for a “nature” break. Very attentive to details such as diet and medication. I can take pictures and videos to send so that you know your pet is doing great. If you want it, I will send it! Also, I am always open to staying over night at your home so that your dog does not feel displaced while you are gone. Giving them love when you can't! I promise I am a clean house guest. It would be like I was never there.
