All though my experience with sitting dogs, are my own two dogs, I have always had dogs for my children. I have a Schnauzer and a Husky. I'm very aware of each dogs needs. I have a very big yard, not fence but I take them for walks, I live in a dead end street and my neighbor is very dog friendly. I also could take them for grooming, I'm available to service your dog and treat them like my owned. I also have my husband that is going to retired pretty soon and will help me the care. Also my son lives with me and he will participate in helping me take care to your dog. So you see there's three person watching your dog.
