I have had pets my whole life dogs, cats, fish, small rodents you name it. My dog is like my child and I believe that she should be taken care of with love and respect and that if just what I would do for your. Animals are a precious extension to a family and deserve all the love and affection that any other member gets. I would be so excited to be able to make sure your pets are well looked after while you are away :) If you would like your dog to stay in my home I require that you supply a crate as I have a dog already in my home and that you supply your own dog food to prevent any transition issues :)
