Do you want someone to stay home with your dog and cuddle and play with them all day? I work from home, I have a fenced in yard, and a very flexible schedule. My home is small, kept neat and minimal, but not filled with "precious things" so I'm not worried about having new dog friends over to visit. My husband and I just moved here from living on a little ranch care taking for 4 dogs, (or sometimes up to 6) including a special needs high energy blue heeler. We also took care of 2 horses, some chickens, and a cat. I am great at keeping up with the pets' routines and specific needs. I love walking dogs for exercise, and I miss being around animals so I would be so happy to look after yours while you're gone! My husband will also be in the home much of the time your pet visits, and he is known among friends as "the dog whisperer" because every dog he meets immediately loves him.
