I grew up with animals all my life. From a small family farm to raising pets in homes with a yard to owning pets while living in apts. There's something about the unconditional love you get from animal with intern you give back. I'll make sure your dog gets all of my attention while in my care. Maybe he or she just want to sit on my lap and get pets or if they love to be brushed or want to play. my hope is the time I spend with your pet tides them over till you return home!!!! And how lucky would I be to spend time with a member of your family! And I get to experience joy from your pet for a time.
