your dog will feel at home in a pet friendly setting. i allow pets on the furniture and on the bed with me if that is what they are used to. I am retired, so always home working on my favorite hobby...painting pets on rocks. Id love to take your dog for a walk while he or she is staying with me. I do have an older cat, so can only take dogs that are "cat" friendly. I have owned mostly large breed dogs, but love them all. I lost my 15 year old german wire hair pointer last year, and thought i would try pet sitting. My experience so far has been taking care of family and friends pets and have loved doing it!
