Increased business travel w/dog

Hi, Everyone.

I am an engineer who is transitioning to the consulting industry. The entails being on-site at the customer in another state, M-Th. I am female, single, and live alone.

My dog is my best friend, and I am devastated at the advice I've read online about giving up your dog when consulting.

Does anyone have advice or experience w/regular business travel w/a dog?

My dog, Marvin, is 12 lbs and well-behaved. I've already accepted the job offer, and re-homing is the last resort. I am heartbroken at the current options I've been given.


Thanks for your advice.
