Many people love pet dogs. Do you also have one? You may leave your dog at home alone for eight hours, or a normal workday. If it’s longer than that, you'll need to work out something to do so your dog can go outside and have play-time. Dogs are social animals, so leaving them alone for a long time can have a bad influence on them. Even though they sleep most of the day, they need some activities to keep them happy.
If you have a friend who is at home during the day, and who likes spending time with dogs, this may be your best choice. It can also be safer, because you will trust the person coming to your house. Or you can take your dog to your friend's home.
Doggy daycare is a good choice for you, too. You can trust in the daycare to take care of your pet while you are away. Many daycares will also keep your pet overnight if you need them to. It's always a good idea to visit the day-care before taking your dog there. Make sure that the people working there are good with dogs.
If you don't want to choose a doggy daycare, you can hire (雇佣) a dog-walker. Hiring a dog-walker is a good idea for you if you want your pet to have some extra attention during the day. When hiring a dog walker, it's best to go through an agency (代理商). Be sure to ask them if the dog-walker can be trusted. You should also ask them what your pet will do while the dog-walker is there.
Dogs are our friends. If you have a dog, treat him as your family member. Spend more time with him; don't leave him alone for a long time.
