Respite cover will be planned in advance and will involve walking her dog more frequently and ensuring he is clean and has everything he needs before you leave. Support for our daughter may also be required which may include but not limited to preparing and making food / drinks, assisting with any tasks she may need support with, household duties and spending time with her.
