As a certified animal lover, I've spent years living, caring and adventuring with my companions. After receiving a briefing on your doggie(s), I will customize the care; for example, reinforcing and or training with commands you are working with or would like to. If there are specific needs or desires for care, just let me know--we can discuss. I have a large fenced backyard that dogs enjoy for romping around, good smells, exploring and sunbathing. Over the years I've grown accustomed to reading dog's behaviors and communications, and rely on this to help comfort and soothe your companion so that they not only put their concerns to rest, but also can enjoy and benefit from their stay. They will always miss you, but the objective is to let them settle and adjust to the new environment so that they can have some fun and attention while you're away.
