I have done house sitting and pet sitting on the side since I was a teenager. My own high school teachers trusted me with their pets. Now as a 37year old mom of 2, I have 3 dogs of my own. My 3 dogs get along with other dogs just fine. We are dog people no cats please. I am very responsive to messages and I am trustworthy. You do not have to worry about your dog(s) while you are out of town. Puppies are more than welcome does not matter what age. One of my dogs is older and has seizures and high anxiety so I also have experience with dogs with special needs or medications. I do have a yard and the dogs are free to go in and out as they please. I work outside the home 30hours per week but my husband and teenaged son also help me out and we are home a lot. We also have a toddler so it's important your canine is okay with Littles. I have a large fenced yard and 3 dogs to keep your dog company. I could also crate the dog if possible but he/she will have free range in my yard and waves to doggie door. We do have neighbors behind and next door, but the dogs do not bother us. Would love to meet in a public place before introducing the dogs.
