Hello! We are a family of one mom and two girls, ages 8 and 11. We are not ready to have our own dog yet, but we LOVE dogs and would love to lavish our playful attention on your dog while you are away. My daughters will play with your dog and brush and feed and otherwise care for your dog with all their enthusiasm and love for all animals. I'm also a runner and will be more than happy to take your dog on plenty of long runs--or shorter walks. We are pet lovers all the way and can't wait to care for your dog. We have the added bonus of the kids being home for school this Fall, so we can guarantee the dogs will NOT be lonely!
