I always feel comfortable leaving Tallulah with Aric. It seems like it is a mini vacation for her

I’m currently working from home full-time, which gives me plenty of time to play and care for your dog. I am super flexible and am available to provide for your needs.

Safety, trust & environment

I don’t have a fenced backyard, but have a ton of green space and live on a fantastic walking path. Our dogs get daily walks and/or runs, and play fetch in our backyard several times each day. I also have two kids, 16 and 17, who would love to keep your dog entertained. We also respect any rules you have for your dogs (i.e. no furniture) and will make sure your dog follows the rules you have at home.

Pets

A typical day

Your loved ones will enjoy walks around the Athens downtown area and Middle School, as well as some time in the backyard chasing balls or frisbees.

Please let me know what boundaries your dog has at home, whether they are allowed on furniture, etc. We follow the same rules you have set for your loved ones, so everything is consistent for them.
