I have two dogs of my own and treat them like they are my children. I understand that you want to know that your dogs are going to be well taken care of when you are away. I promise that I'll treat your dog(s) like my own! I work full-time M-F and am typically gone from 7am-6pm; however, I can easily make drop-in visits before and/or after work and have full availability on the weekends to take care of your furry friend! If your dog stays at my home, my husband is around and dogs will not be left alone for more than 5 hours. I have had dogs for more than 10 years and have experience with special needs dogs as well (one of my dogs requires daily medication for seizures).
