My husband and I have owned dogs our entire 20 years of marriage, plus we grew up with dogs as well. Your dog will be loved on day and night by all five of us! Having been disappointed with pet sitters who don't update on us on our own pets, we promise to send daily updates and regular photos/videos to you while you're away. My husband works from home and I work part-time as a teacher. Because of our flexible schedules, we will tailor our days to fit your dog's specific needs. Our three daughters (ages 16, 14, and 11) will help as well! In terms of exercise, we already take our Golden for a 4-mile trot every day, so we can tailor walking/running your dog to however works best for you. We own a 2500 sq. ft. home with a fenced-in backyard and tons of landscaping. Our seven year old Golden Retriever gets along with all dogs and humans! We also have a guinea pig. Let us know when your pup is fed, walked, naps, etc., and we will create a schedule as close as possible to his/her routine at home! In addition to our human family of five, our Golden Retriever loves furry friends and will be a constant companion for your dog. We pride ourselves on running a clean, bright, and organized home and yard. We definitely want you to see the inside of our home and our yard for yourself how much we take a clean, safe environment seriously!
