I've been taking care of my own or family dogs for quite awhile now. I tend to treat a dog as a younger more friendly person that requires care just like we all do from time to time. When it comes to caring for pet my best "care" I can give is often and many petting's, I also don't mind getting on all fours and play fighting with the dog (with care of course!). I also don't mind if the dog wishes to just lay near (or even on) me. I'm open all the time for the time being. I work solo on taking care of dogs and you'll only have to worry about me. As for travel as long as you're not too far away I can walk to you or bike if need be, I can also set my sleep to match with your time if you're an early bird or a night owl.
