I have an English Mastiff, Blue Heeler and a Lab Mix that are all my babies. My adult daughter lives with me so dog sitting in the pets home is easily doable for me. I've had dogs (a variety of breeds and sizes) for my entire life. I treat and love mine as my children. I work full-time for the State of Washington but have flexibility with my schedule and are available for over night sitting if needed. I can guarantee your dog will be loved and happy in your absence. I am not afraid if a dog is intimidating or protective as they are simply guarding their territory and I understand it simply means gaining their trust. I look forward to getting to know your fur baby.
