I owned 2 long haired dachshunds, Chief and Shasta, for 15 yrs. Then had 2 " pound puppies also. I just love all dogs!! I am 63 yrs. old and have been around dogs my whole life. My girlfriend has also had dogs for many years. We don't have any dogs right now in our home,but we feel this service is perfect for us to enjoy other folks doggies. Both of us have a huge compassion for animals and we can PROMISE you that we will care for your pet(family member) just as you would. We do both have jobs but always took great care of our little friends. We also have our 18 year old Son here who is excited about having some furry friends around. Between the 3 of us, we would be able to care for as well as play with your little ones!
