I'm a dog lover and have fostered 80 dogs that were abandoned and needed to be cared for until they found a long term home. I've raised my children to be pet lovers too and they have animals too. When I care for your dog, I'll treat it like it's my own. I want you to feel like you're dropping your dog off at your family members house so you can enjoy whatever it is you're doing... working, playing, etc. I live across from a pond that dogs enjoy sniffing for hours. I'll follow your rules and make sure they are fed when they need to be fed and let out as frequently as they need to be. I'm an active sitter and will take your dog for walks too.
