I am a floor lead at a dog day care. We learn dog behaviors, feedings,administer medicine emergencies and playtime and training.I have had dogs since I was a kid. I currently have a dachshund who is very well socialized with other dogs. He goes to work with me everyday I work 36 hours a week most shifts are 6 to 1 so I have plenty of time to dedicate to your dog as long as they can be socialized with mine. He is a 1 year old dachshund who loves other dogs. I have a fence at home but it is low. I would keep your dog on a leash and walk them if in my home. I have a dachshund who is paper trained, potty trained and goes outside. You could bring a crate over or bed. If at your house I would need to bring my dog with. He is 1 yr old dachshund 12 lbs. Gets along well with dogs. If you are wanting me to house sit it is best to ask 3 weeks in advance so I can try to make my work schedule around yours so I can be home more with your pup.
