Your fur baby will become part of my family when you are away. I know first hand how stressful vacations can be when all you can think about is your fur baby and his/her well being. Your dog will have full access to my home as if he/she was my own. Also, I have 2 dogs of my own who love having a playmate over. I have a large yard for playing fetch and chasing and I have 2 kids that will help love on your baby. I have been watching my friends and family's pets for 20+ years and can provide references. I'm an educator, so I am home full time in the summer. During the school year, my parents, who are retired, stop by my house to feed and play with my dogs while I'm at work.
