I have taken care of my daughter's dogs for her when she needs a sitter. I also train my own small dog daily. He and I would love to have the extra company from time to time of an extra dog. I am currently at home 7 days a week. My weekly routine is staying at home. The dogs would have my care throughout the day. I have a fenced in yard and a fenced in deck with a huge astro-turf carpet on it for my dog to potty on. I watch him and let him out every 4-5 hours. Sometimes he will paw at the bells I keep on the back door if he needs to go out sooner. I have a crate if needed but don't use it unless I have to run pick up something at the grocery store which is a 10 minute drive from my home. I am retired so I am home all day with your fur baby. They have my undivided attention and get a lot of love and kind words. Also, if you allow it, they can have a treat or 2 each day. I have not only a fenced in backyard, but the main area I keep the dogs is and upstairs fenced in deck. That way if the stickers are in bloom, they can go potty on some fake grass upstairs.
