We are a couple that have been married 28 years and have always love being around animals....We foster for the humane society for the past 4 yrs.....and go walk dogs for clients while they are at work....so we are trusted with access to their houses and have had no problems at all. If it rains that day we wait for a break and then run over to walk them. I walk the dog(s) in my neighbor hood (Gated) at least 3 times a day...Potty breaks are the most important and are done first....later that day around dusk...a nice long walk.... My area is dog friendly and well maintained by being pest sprayed bi-weekly. If dog want to go for a ride I can take them to a doggy park & the beach area for dogs.
