I take care of dogs at my house while you are away. I am an animal lover and have always lived with dogs and other species of animals. The most important thing for me is that they take my house as an exciting experience to cushion your absence and thus make my house something that is rewarding. You won't be alone. I have a 10-year-old dog (Sandy) that the dogs usually take as a guide dog and tend to follow her, forming a pack immediately. Ultimately, the most important thing for me is that they feel at home.
