1. Provide for the health, safety, companionship, and general needs of your temporary friend.
2. Enjoy the experience.
3. Whenever possible, get a photo op.
Photo of Katy, a family friend, enjoying the afternoon sun.
I’ve had dogs, but have ‘dogsat'(?) only once, for four nasty Scnauzers who occupied a beautiful home, yet were not well-trained i.e.: very destructive. Your set of rules is mere common sense which I hope all will follow (especially the last one!).
Love the shot, but wish I could see Katy’s muzzle!
Love this post! I babysit a granddog every now and again, a Boston Terrier. Piper is a love, well trained and I definitely enjoy each and every time I get to have her. I think I get a photo op tomorrow 🙂
One of my good friends just finished up a 2-week dog and house-sitting assignment. And she did exactly as you said — bonded with her new furry friend, and took advantage of several photo ops. I’m not sure whether dog or human will miss each other more!
Good dog sitting rules.
Thank you, Hugs!

It’s always interesting to learn about the unique personalities of our canine friends. She’s a cutie. Thanks.

I look forward to viewing your photo op, Angeline! Thanks for the comment.
Love the rim lighting on this little fury guy 🙂
Thanks, I thought the afternoon light was really complementary.
Yes indeed. They are such fun to snap.
Thank you very much, Gunta.
Um…did you miss? That dog wanted to run
She’s not too much of a runner, I’m afraid.
Hi Brian, I’m sorry, I didn’t realize it was yours. I thought it you were watching it for someone. Blue stays, Nala runs. Have a great weekend!

Oh, I just love dogs…and this is a sweet photo. I’m sure that lucky dog was happy sitting there in the sun. I can almost feel the warmth. 🙂
Yes, dogs are very special companions. Thank you, Carol.

It certainly is an enjoyable experience. Thank you, Marjorie.
I like your dogsitting rules. Nice One 🙂
Thank you, Rachael!
Gogeous rim-lighting from the sun.
Thanks, Allan.
What a brilliant shot. Glad you took the photo op 🙂
Gina, thank you very much.
I’m surprised at how much I love how you took this from behind. Very nice! 😀
The sunlight was shining so perfectly that I couldn’t resist the capture. Thanks, Laura.
Bueniísima la iluminación!!
¡Gracias!
