I've seen several that offered outside services - but as westernrvparkowner says, it could be a recipe for disaster? My former Aussies and Cattle Dogs would NEVER have let anyone in our RV, even after introductions, etc, if we weren't there. My current dogs are incredibly-friendly, but since they're still half-Aussie, I wouldn't trust that they either would be protective - or would escape and run.
I agree with both westernrvparkowner and Deb and Ed M. I'll add that FOR ME, I don't want a stranger watching my dogs - I want to have seen the person interact with a variety of dogs AND with my dogs multiple times so that I can see with my own eyes that they are capable of understanding the dog's body language, etc. Too many "great with dogs" people are only great with dogs that are easy going - they know nothing about how to handle a scared, nervous, shy, over-excited, etc., dog.
