I've had dogs around me all my life. I took primary care of our family dog for 10 years and now have a dog of my own. I love the company of dogs and will take care of your dog like my own. My dog has separation anxiety so when a dog comes to stay with me either for the day or overnight you can be rest assured that I will be home all the time. If I do leave, it's to run a quick errand. I'm never gone for more than 45 mins. I have a baby gate in my apartment so the dogs can be separated if need be. I look forward to caring for your pup and making them feel at home while you are away!
