Whoof, whoof! My wife is a freelance photographer and I'm a Navy veteran/interpreter. We LOVE DOGS and our Aussiedor, Shack, loves them too and he's eager to make new friends! We've been around dogs since we can remember, over 70 years of experience combined :) We are home during the day and have the ability to take care of your furry family member. He/she WILL NOT be put in a crate for 6-8 hours during the day. NOPE! They'll be playing either inside or out playing in our big backyard with Shack for most of the day, depending on the weather, of course. Taking walks and perhaps taking a trip to the doggy park if you are ok with it. Crated during the night so they can get plenty of rest and be ready for the next day! Let's greet and meet and answer any questions you might have. We'll love him/her like our own! You'll get plenty of pics or videos throughout the day if requested, if not, we'll still send you a couple anyway :) and the assurance that he/she'll have a good time and plenty of his/her doggy treats as well! *At this moment, we're not in the capacity to sit Pitbulls and Dobermans.
