Currently I work from home, usually 4 days per week. The day I don't work from home either dp or I pop home at lunchtime to see him for around 45 mins and even on those days he isn't left for longer than 4.5 hours.
I am starting a new job soon which will be office based and I will be out of the house from 8.15 until 6pm I think (not worked out travelling times as yet). We could get a dog walker once or twice a day but I love my dog walks with ddog in an evening and a morning but I think one or two extra walks per day may exhaust him. Dog day care is an option but the increase in salary I would gain would be lost covering that.
My questions are, what would you do in my circumstance....
a) Dog day care and just suck up the cost
b) One dog walk per day and pay a dog sitter to visit for an hour a day (probably £4 per day cheaper which as a saving over a year really adds up). He'd spend the same amount of time a day
c) Two dog walks per day
Also, how much do people pay for dog walks and dog day care? Do you get a discount for every day?
