I have done much pet sitting....When I am, I often think to myself that I am the best pet sitter on earth!
I understand that they may have some anxiety at first and if they do droppings in the house they never get in trouble, on the odd occasion in the past, I blamed my self for not taking them out in time.
When looking after Dauchhunds for example... I sleep on a low futon so they could climb on easily without hurting their backs.
I like them to feel like they are also on a luxury holiday. This is an apartment however and I do have two balconies and its cool and breezy.....I have a real grass dog toilet but no back yard.
I can take one small dog at a time at my house day or stay over. I decided I do not want un-toilet trained dogs anymore, I have some expensive rugs and new flooring in the bedrooms and I dont want them spoilt... :-)
They are provided with fresh filtered drinking water. You bring the food they are used to.
I am also available to visit dogs, cats and other animals. Several visits per day, spending time with them, walking, cuddles, feeding, any medication they have to take etc...
