I have a varied work schedule and sometimes I am out of town. My husband is home most of the time, but there are times when I need someone to drop in and let my 3 year old loving pittie out. He would need to be on a leash since we don't have a fenced in yard (we do have cables that can be used). He has had a lot of training and needs someone that keeps that training reinforced (no jumping, no pulling on the leash, etc.) He is not aggressive but he is very interested in other animals and plays hard so I only let him play with other dogs at the trainer's. He listens and is well behaved. He knows what to do. He gets fed twice a day. If we are gone for an extended period there may be an ask to give him a little dry food with a pump of fish oil in bowl and the remainder of a cup in a snuffle mat. We also may has you to give him a kong or something with peanut butter or something else to engage him while we are away. We try to take him out a few times a day. He is patient and house broken.
