I used to own a beagle along with my current aussie/husky mix. My family bred rottweilers growing up, and I have been pet sitting for family and friends for 15 plus years. I understand that your pet is like your child, as I feel the same way about mine... and would give your child the same kind of care I give my kids. Your pet would be in great hands with me and although they will miss you I will keep them occupied and give them lots of love and attention. I am very responsible, I have kids as well as pets so I understand how important it is for them and their health, state of mind, happiness and well being to be kept on a schedule. I will follow your requests to T, because I understand that the parent is the only one who knows what is best for their pet, and I will definitely give the utmost respect to that.
