Im an animal lover and have had 5 dogs myself. I am sensitive to an animals needs and believe they not only need to be taken care of, but loved and played with. Exercise is just as important as anything else so I am willing to walk your dog daily. If they require more exercise that is no problem. I think they should constantly receive attention while you are absent and they will be in the care of a loving previous dog mommy. If your dog has any special needs I am able to handle these as well just let me know exactly what to do. I am look forward to getting to know and care for your sweet animal while you are away! !
