What I would like to provide when walking the dog is giving them a little exercise for example running during the walks or playing catch if there is a nearby park. I would bring a large bottle of water using there own bowl for when taking a quick stop to stay hydrated. I am very patient with dogs. I have taken care of two dogs in my home for a week or less when owners are in vacation and enjoyed getting to know the dogs very well. I would also like to know how the owner would like for me to walk there dog and if any concerns that they would like to let me know so I can be aware when walking there dog.
