I grew up with dogs my whole life. To me a house is not a home if a dogs not in it. I understand how hard it is to leave a pet for the night or several nights. My goal is to establish a great & trusting relationship with you & your dog. I'm willing to watch your friend while your on vacation after at least a one night stay to see how my boxer and your dog interact with each other. My boxer is a calm laid back, I'd rather sleep than play kind of dog. Can't wait to meet you and your dog!
