I have grown up with dogs of all sizes and different breeds from pedigree to mixed. Over the years, I have looked after my friends dogs, whilst they were on holiday or needed a last minute dog-sitter. I enjoy going on long walks, at least 12k steps a day, so your dog will get plenty of exercise along with play time. I also have a super friendly almost a year old adult dog who loves long walks and play time with other doggies. So your dog will have another furry companion too. My flat is secure and has a pet-friendly balcony and its upto the doggies if they prefer the couch, bed or carpet floors. And if a house-stay is required, I’ll follow your instructions as to where and how the dog sleeps, eats etc., so that his daily routine is still maintained. I make sure that fresh water is always available along with warm blankets for the cool nights and a fan for hot ones. Plus snuggles and kisses on regular basis - that bit is mainly for me, but doggies seems to like it too :)
