I have always lived with dogs, whether growing up, in college, or afterwards. I frequently dog sit friends dogs now and enjoy it very much. I live very close to a park and have a large, fenced in backyard. It is a great area for a dog of any size! My wife and I are both available to take care of the dogs, so it is double the care for one price. We look forward to hearing from you. We just recently got our own dog, Crash, an English Cocker Spaniel who is 6 months old and little ves to play. He is extremely friendly and I have never seen him get mad at a dog, or a dog he mad at him. At the Calloway house, your pup gets a friend too!
