I dog sit my friends lab 'Yogi' when they are away on holidays, or when the weather is very hot or stormy.
I work from home in Nollamara, so I'm around all day.
Things can be a bit quiet working from home, so getting out the house for walkies is a welcome distraction. (Yogi gets 4 walks a day, depending on the temperature).
I have a secure, nice size back yard with plenty shade and outdooor sofa for snoozing on.
Sleeping on the bed at night is not a problem, as long as I get in first to claim my spot.
We usually go to the dog beach on Sundays, then cafe for breakfast and home for a good wash....
