I currently have a dog named Belle and she means the world to me. And I would want her in the best hands while I was away. I've raised two litters of puppies while house sitting over the last 3 years. All healthy, smart, and in good homes. Love and proper guidance. *If you hit your dog in anyway to discipline him, I would rather not house-sit for you. The only marks a dog should ever have is from kisses if you happen to have lipstick on*
