Hello, I am retired Navy Seabee. I have a small dog of my own who is spoiled rotten. (would love to spoil yours as well). I grew up having dogs and understand that they are a part of your family, just as my fur-baby is part of mine. My dog and I have completed our adult training classes so I am accustomed to using commands if your dog uses them. I an also provide daily updates if you would like, as well as pics or videos. I just wish to make sure you worry-free while your family member is with me. I live in a 3 bedroom house with a large fenced in back yard with a @ 6ft privacy fence. I have a roommate, helps with the sitting. She has 14yr teen son and he has a young dog, just going on 2 yrs old and 2 medium size puppies that spend most of their time outside. Our dogs are family so will be allowed on furniture and beds, however I will follow all your direction. NOTE: In my profile picture; I am in the center behind the stroller. My roommate profile is currently being added, so her profile and picture to come soon, but her picture us available upon request. She will be the sitter this Holiday Season.
