My husband and I have grown up with dogs our whole lives (German shepards, mixed breeds, labs, beagles, and more). We recently lost our Scnhauzer/Airedale terrier breed that we loved so much! We aren't quite ready to get a another dog yet, so we would love to help someone out and host your dog whenever you go away. I know how anxious I was the first time I found someone online to watch my dog, so I will be sure to care for your dog in the same way I cared for mine. We do have a cat who usually keeps to herself, but is use to having a dog around and has been able to share her space with others =) please let us know if you have any questions!
