Dogs are considered part of my family. They certainly are not treated as dogs...they are treated as family. If your dog loves to sleep in bed with me that totally normal for me. I absolutely love dogs and the energy they bring into a home. Any dog of any size will be treated as my baby while in my care. I am a Registered Nurse so if your dog has medical issues or medicines to be given that certainly does not scare me! I grew up with a goldendoodle and my mom currently has two goldenoodles. I come from am extremely close knit family of dog lovers. You will not have to worry about your dog being loved. I PROMISE!!! I look forward to watching your dog.
