I have dog sat rescue dogs in my mom's friend's house. While they were away I slept over and took care of her such as taking her out for walks or to the park and I also fed her. I overall loved her as my own. When there was an emergency we took her to the vet, so I am well-aware of what should happen in any sticky situation.
