Besides some afraid of dogs, you make sure they really know how to take care of dogs! Since I have 2 dogs, I also hire a maid to take care of them. A lot of maid said how they love dogs when they come for interview, but when you asked them how to take a bath for them or if they don't eat when she feeds them, what wll she do? Then most of them cannot answer! Even you hire a maid who can take care of them, be careful they just stay with their bun bun or Indo friends to chat and not walking the dogs! I have seen a lot of them like this, even mine is the same! They will pretend to go and walk them for a hour, poor doggies, they just force to seat there and no poo or wee! So I spot check my maid when she walks the dogs and found her partying sometimes!
