Hello! In my home, all animals will be treated as they should, like family. I’m an avid hiker, and I’m sure your dog is too. I have been around dogs all my life, from the pups in the house, to the bigger kids playing with the horses outside. I have been house/dog/baby sitting for about four years on the side now, mostly taking place in Southern Vermont for members of the Ski Club in which I was formerly employed through. I will assure you your family member is in wonderful hands, and will never be bored. I’m originally from Western Massachusetts, recently moved to this region for opportunity, and of course, you can’t forget the off the charts hiking. Thanks in advance for looking! ?
