I have a four-five year old beagle, Watson, who I rescued and trained by myself. I have cared for roommates' and friends' dogs over the years as well. My dog has a pretty specific schedule that I stick to, and will always do the same with your fur children (depending on your wishes). I live in a complex with nice green enclosed areas where the dogs can walk around leashed, although I often take them on longer walks outside of the complex. I live right across the street from the Elysian Park trails where I take my dog frequently. My dog loves meeting new buddies and is great with all other dogs. I'm more than happy to send photos and videos to make you feel at ease during the stay.
