I've had dogs most of my life and loved them all like family, because they are family. I am a 53 yr old male that has been married for 30+ years with one daughter. Currently we have a 6 yr old Yorkie/Shih Tzu mix named Toby. I have taught Toby to sit, lay down, crawl, shake, leave it, watch (look into my eyes instead of the treat) and high five. He's my little buddy. We go on morning walks and sometimes in the evening if it is not too hot. If it's a warmer day I'll take some water and a little dish if he wants a drink. I am a dog lover! I have only dog sit for my in-laws, but now putting myself out there for offer this service to you. I can either check in your dog, walk them or stay at your home if you want to take a vacation and would rather not take your dog to the kennel. Dogs feel more comfortable in their own home, in their own bed and being able to keep their daily routine.
