You should try to spend a lot of time with the dog you are caring for when you first meet it. Dogs can suffer from separation anxiety when their owners leave. This can be countered by giving the dog attention and getting it used to your presence. Take the dog for a walk or play a game fetch soon after you meet it. This will distract the dog from the owner's absence and help it bond with you. It's especially important to spend a lot of time with the dog if you're taking it to your home rather than spending time at the owners. They may look for things to chew on or destroy in a new environment so you'll want to be nearby to prevent this. Dogs recognize people based on smell. Give the dog time to sniff your hand so they get used to your scent or they might get nervous each time you walk into the room. The anxiety of missing their owner can cause dogs to ignore their training and behave badly. They may start to chew on things, eliminate in the house, or otherwise destroy things. You should generally keep a close eye on the dog for the first few hours. If the dog is behaving badly, start by taking them for a walk or giving them a treat to calm them down. Walks are good because the dog will work out their aggression outside and be tired when they return home. If you are taking the dog to your home, you should keep the dog in a cage or leashed to a stationary object when they are left alone. Dogs get anxious in new environments, especially when they're alone and may engage in destructive behavior.
