Dogs need love ❤️!

I have had a dog in my life for 40 years. I love them. They are best friends. My dogs have traveled with me all over the world as I spent my young adult life traveling and moving around. I would love to give your dog the attention they deserve while you are out of town, at work or out for a night of fun. As for overnights, we have a fully-fenced backyard for them to run free. We have a 9-year-old retriever/border collie mix who absolutely loves other dogs and kids. She would love to have a friend over 👍. We are centrally located and flexible with our schedule. We will provide a safe and fun environment for your pet. We look forward to meeting you and your wonderful dog.

Jim and his family took good care of our dog Rocky. He sent photos and updates when asked. She seemed happy when we picked her up. Thanks Jim!
