(credit: CBS)
You work long hours, sometimes more than 10 in a day. You have a dog (or two) that you love dearly, and you worry about leaving him or her alone for that length of time. What to do? Well, you could hire someone to visit your house and walk your pup while you are at work. Or, for usually not much more than the cost of hiring a dog walker, you can take your dog to a doggy day care facility and really know that he's getting plenty of activity and attention while you work. Most of these options even have webcams, which allow you to hop online and get a look at your dog while he is in day care. What a great way to keep you connected to your best friend while you are working.
