About: I've been dog sitting since I was a teen. I love dogs, my Hans is my first Baby. I run about 4 miles a day. And I walk with my daughter, Adelaj who loves dogs, about 2 times a day. Safe area, plenty of room to run and play. Your fur baby will spend all day with me, my little girl, and our 4 year old, ultra sweet border collie, Hans. If needed, we have a dog crate for sleeping in, but your dog is welcome to sleep in whatever arrangement he or she is used to. I prefer to host dogs at my home, but I can come to you too, so long as it's not too far away. I hope to see you soon!
