I'm an empty nester dog owner and dog lover who works from home, so I have a very flexible schedule and am happy to come check in on your dog or take it for walks during the day. I have a yellow lab so am sensitive to the desire we all have for exercise and fresh air as much as possible for our pups. Just let me know what kind of exercise your dog needs and even what you'd like to work on or learn and I'll do my best. I've had dogs since childhood and trained many puppies, so puppies are no problem, either. I love cats, too, and can come and check on the kitties while you're gone. We have a big house with lots of room and all wood floors, so we don't worry about accidents. We have an easy going lab and one cat who's very used to dogs and tends to stay in his own part of the house.
