I have had a dog (German Shepard, Great Dane, Poodle, Rottweiler, Golden Retriever and my current baby, a Great Pyrenees/Shepard mix) all my life and a cat for the past 12 years, along with a ferret for 3 years. I love and look forward to interacting with your furry family member. Their safety and well being are my priority because I know how I feel when I have to leave my pets in someone else's care and I want your pet to feel the warmth and care that I would want my pet to feel if I were gone. I will gladly send pictures and updates on your pet while you are away if you would like. I want you to have confidence that your pet is well taken care of and loved while you are away. I don't take crated dogs.
