There are some options you can consider for your dog if you work long hours. Doggy daycare and trusted pet sitters are the best way to look after your dog when you’re away, they can make sure they eliminate waste appropriately, get a walk, are properly fed and cared for if you’re away for longer than 6-8 hours. For longer periods of absence such as holidays, dog boarding is also a great option, there are lots of boarding options available, so do your research to find the best fit for your dog.
