I am a dogsitter and go into peoples homes and go through a lengthy interview process, give them my personal information, my license ID, etc, and that's just because I'm a college kid doing this, not a company. Professional companies will be bonded and insured. A dogsitter doesn't even have to take him on a full walk if you don't prefer, they can simply let him potty, and go back inside. Jackson does not do anything either when I'm gone, he just sleeps, and won't play or chew anything, but I still don't feel it'd be fair to leave him in a crate for 9hrs. |
I just dont feel comfortable with the dog walker.. if it was someone i knew it would be different...but its not. I feel bad to leave him in the crate but i tried other ways and nothing seems to work. Im going to try and not lock him up at night.. but he is really bad right now so i need to do something where he gets into shape!
