Hi there! I've been a dog lover my whole life. Growing up we had 2 dogs, a cocker spaniel and a golden retriever/samoyed mix. In high school I volunteered at the SPCA, in college I was a dog walker and worked at a doggie day care, and before I got my own pup in my late 20s I was the girl staring longingly at dogs playing in dog parks. I adopted my rescue pup, a mini goldendoodle named Charlie Brown, 12 years ago. He's 15 pounds and pretty much likes to be left alone, but still loves to go for long walks. I've taken care of friends' and neighbors' dogs if they're out of town, and I'd love to take care of your special boy or girl too! When your dog stays with me, I guarantee lots of attention and kisses. They can run around in my backyard as much as they'd like or just snooze on the couch (hey, we all love a nice daytime nap!). I can also take them for walks during the day and, if you're comfortable, would be happy to take them to a dog park if that's their jam. I'm a mom of 2 little kids who are in school all day (and have grown up with Charlie Brown, so are very comfortable with dogs in the house), and I work from home, so I'm here all day to give your doggo lots of love and attention. I have a sizeable house with a large, fenced-in yard, so your dog can play outside as much as he/she wants to during the day. I will absolutely send you photos of your dog during their stay too, and I know how much I love getting photos of Charlie Brown if I'm ever away, so please never feel hesitant to ask me for more photos of your pup!
