I have had dogs all my life and consider them part of my family. I have had smaller dogs weighing 10 lbs all the way up to my last Boxer weighing 84 lbs. We have a large yard with 1 rescue that resides. Friendly dog that will keep your pet company while your away. I also have a young child who loves dogs and will surely keep your dog entertained. I do this for the love of dogs and being a dog owner I know how difficult it can be leaving your dog with someone you do not know. I am a stay at home mom. Your family member will get lots and lots of playtime, snuggles, and care while enjoying a vacation of their own.
