I have often sat for my friends dogs while they were on vacation or business trips. Even overnight, if the dog had special needs. I don't just stop by to feed and pet your dogs, I engage them. I talk with them, brush them, and give them back massages or tummy rubs. I can even take them to a local dog park, if you like or run them around your enclosed yard. I treat dogs like a member of your family, not as an animal. I feel strongly that all dogs have unique personalities and emotions that compare to humans. My goal is to make sure they are not depressed, bored or stressed while you are away. A happy dog during your absences — makes for a healthy dog.
