we love dogs and we just recently lost our dog of 15 years and we miss her terribly. we loved to walk our dog and we have been a dog owner for the last 50 years. we treat them as family. we have older grandchildren that visit and love to play with dogs. my husband and I miss having a dog to care for. my brother and sister-in-law take care of dogs and refered us to this service. it sounded like something that would fulfill our needs. we take care of our daughters dog when they go on vacation. and lest our neighbors dog out while she is at work or on vacation. we can not wait until we can start this service. thank you
