Do you have pet sitters or doggie daycare? Luckily our schedules allow us to let Loki out but they won't always be that flexible. On days when my husband has long meetings I take Loki to the trainer's for daycare on my way to work and pick him up on my way home. We have neighbors who all have dogs so we can take turns letting each others dogs out on our days off or whatever needs to be done. We are all dog lovers and I would never want a neighbor's dog to have to hold it when I could go let him out - so we all work it out. Maybe that might be a possibility for you too?
