My husband Michael and I have grown up with dogs throughout our lives. We have seen firsthand how animals of all types can enrich a person's life in a profound way. We also know how stressful it can be to leave our dog and have to find a responsible person that shows the same compassion as we do while gone. We value those people that can do so for us and want to do the same for other dog owners. Michael and I have the ability to set our own schedules and work from home, which allows us spend a great deal of time with your dog. We have sat for many people such as our neighbors, family, and friends and have watched all types of dogs from miniature up to greyhounds. We are lucky because we live close to the Metroparks and often find ourselves there, taking walks in our neighborhood, or just hanging out in the backyard as it is very large. Our dog Rafa loves meeting new dogs. She knows when to be gentle and when to play with others. She can't wait to meet your furry friend and show him/her they will be okay when when mom/dad have to leave for a little while.
