My husband and I are frequently taking our small dog Penny out on walks, and your dog would be treated like a member of the pack and added into our routine. We often go around Lake Como, to Reservoir Woods, or to a number of off-leash parks. We also have a fenced-in backyard for the dogs to play. I am a grad student with some free time on winter break, so I’ll be able to give your dog the attention it needs. Currently I’m only taking one dog, so your dog won’t be overwhelmed. My dog is small, friendly, and four years old. I’ll send you photo updates, if desired, while you are away from your furry friend. Please note, our house does have stairs if that’s an issue for your dog.
