Daycare/Dog Walking for un-neutered dogs?

Does anyone have experience of using Daycare or Dog Walking services with an unspayed female? Is this possible, or are providers of these services who accept unspayed females pretty rare? (I know the daycare where we did her puppy classes does not accept dogs over 6 months if not neutered)

It is looking likely that I will return to work in the near future, so am beginning to look into Daycare and Dog Walkers in our area, or en-route to the areas I am likely to work in. I specialise in IT Service Management and my OH is in Pharmaceutical Development, so there is no chance she would be able to come to work with either of us.


Further info, if needed:
Cora is now 7 months, and overdue for her first post 6 month check-in with our vet (due to xmas period). I am sure they will discuss spaying with me, although I have already decided to use another practice when the time comes as I want her to get keyhole surgery, which my vet does not offer, but obviously I would like to put off the surgery for as long as possible, and ideally not until she is fully grown.

My vet has previously said they would recommend spaying at 6 months so long as the vulva had matured properly, but I am hesitant to go along with this since she is a large breed, and I am aware/concerned about her continued development (ie joints, growth plates, etc) for another year/year and a half after his recommended time.

*Sorry Azz - Not sure if this should be in the Health Section instead? But really my questions is about daycare/walking, not the neutering itself.

the daycare and walking service i work at accepts unspayed females. they just cant attend while they are in season (for obvious reasons) i dont see the issue personally, providing the owner is responsible. we've had the odd one boarding whos come in season unexpectedly. thats what the isolation kennel is for.
