I've been around dogs of all shapes and sizes for my whole life, and haven't met one that I didn't like. I know how nerve-wracking it can be to leave your best friend in the care of someone else, so I'm hoping to put your mind at ease with loving care for your dog. I am a freelance journalist who works from home and my schedule is extremely flexible. I get pleasure out of being around dogs, so this seems like a natural service I can provide. I have a fenced-in backyard and a friendly medium-sized dog (Beau). I can crate your dog in a home office, if needed, and that's where I spend most of my time during the day, anyway, so he/she wouldn't be alone if they do have to be crated.
