I have been boarding dogs, doing house/pet sitting jobs, drop in visits and dog walking visits for about 5 years. I am a retired research scientist and a concert pianist. I have plenty of good references. My availability is pretty much all the time. I have a wonderful time hanging out with 'The Pups." A normal day that your dog would experience is as follows. We would get up and have a nice walk before breakfast. Then my guest would listen to me play the piano for awhile and then I study some mathematics and then about 11:00 or so we would go for another walk. Then I may have to leave for a bit to maybe do another client or go to the store etc. Then I would be back and I might go to the beach to work out and then I would be back with my guest. We would have another walk about 4:00 and then dinner time and then another walk about 8:00. I always stay home if I have a pup in the house so we would be together all night. This schedule can be adjusted to suit pup's needs. This is just the basic schedule. Next day would be the same. Basically, I spend my time composing solo piano music, studying some mathematics, hanging out with pups and swimming in the ocean.
