Your dog will be well loved and well taken care of as if you guys have never left.... I'm off on Tuesday and Wednesday for all dayer and home by 4 for every thing else... your animals will get along with my little dog and have a companion and even have the ability to go to dog park with him.. I also will take dogs who have nightly medicine to take as well and make sure they take their medicine like they are supposed to as well.. As far as skills I have dog sat for neighbors that I lived around and roommates that I have had and for family as well (especially since I didn't see the pets that often) If you hire me your pets will be in awesome hands
