Able to immediately connect with your dog.The dog in my picture lived until 16 1/2 years old, the last 5 years with diabetes requiring Insulin shots 2x daily. That speaks to the care my fiancee and I gave to our beloved Mimi. Rather than find a replacement dog (impossible), I have chosen to provide worry free service to fellow dog lovers. I am detail oriented and will strictly adhere to individual instructions (amount and time of food, water consumed, time of walks etc). I know that that periodically unforeseen occurrences will prevent the agreed upon pickup time from being achieved. I am very flexible when these things occur and will easily adjust pickup time for a nominal fee. I look forward to providing your dog an enjoyable visit.
