I will be a best friend for your best friend--while you are away. . . . I am a novelist working from home. I am seeking companionship, sunset walks on the beach, rides in the car, sloppy kisses, candlelight dinners and the occasional treat. Only cultured, well-mannered canines need apply. Your pup has the run of my house and will get plenty of outdoor exercise. My canine house guests enjoy several long walks each day, as well as potty breaks, so we both get fresh air and a workout! Special diets? I will happily cook custom meals for your pets. And senior dogs who require special attention will certainly receive it. In other words, my house is your house while you are away.

And senior dogs who require special attention will certainly receive it. In other words, my house is your house while you are away. I've cared for and loved dogs all of my life. Pets have always been members of my family. I find that dog "energy" is the purest form of love. Call me crazy, but a house is not a home without them! Why I love dog sitting Since I was a kid, I've loved dogs, so we're going back a lot of years! I drove cross country with my three dogs in a VW Bus with friends back in the day, rescued numerous brilliant mutts (or perhaps they rescued me?), dog walked through Central Park while attending school, and after thirteen wonderful years with my mixed black lab, Eva, who suffered from epilepsy from puppy-hood and is gone, now, I'm missing that "dog energy" that makes my house a home. I really enjoy the company and affection given so freely and unconditionally by my visiting canine guests! An update: I adopted a rescue dog, a sweet Pomeranian, who gets along with all forms of life. Together, we will welcome your precious pup into our home. My experience administering medication Yes, oral, and topical.
