My wife an I live in sherman oaks California area with our lab mix mix dog luna. She is 5 years old. We would certainly welcome watching and caring for your dog while you are out of town. We always take luna to the parks near us so she is able to play with the other dogs in the neighborhood. Luna is the sweetest dog. She gets along with all of the dogs and kids in our building. I am sure she will get alone great with your dog should you choose to pick us to watch. Please contact us and we would be happy to accommodate. I work from home so I am around the house and available to go for walks throughout the day.
