I travel for work about 100 overnights a year. I know my schedule with a minimum of 3 weeks and often up to 8 weeks' notice. Care could be at my home overnight or caregiver's home. Two poodle mix dogs that need food and occasional walks. One dog needs an insulin injection every 12 hours (takes 3-5 minutes for food and injection) dogs enjoy being a part of family instead of being kenneled all day and night.
