Having begun dog sitting a neighbour’s Cockapoo three years ago, I have recognised an aptitude for dog day care. I’ve found that having a dog with me is good for both myself and them as we can vary activities to suit whatever is happening. When I have more than one dog, they play together which is a great way of socialising and expending energy. There is a park directly opposite my home and there are generally other dogs there for canine company. Most local businesses are dog friendly and the dogs accompany me on errands. I’m flexible with times and can be available at short notice. From experience I no longer accept dogs under one year old due to the wear and tear caused by them not being house trained.
