Having a dog of my own, I know how important our pets are and how important it is to trust the caregiver. I can provide love and fun for your pet while you are away. No longer will you need to worry about what is happening while your gone. You can go to work or take that trip to revive yourself without worrying about Rover. I live near a pond and can also take your dog for a hike (on or off leash) in the woods. I am very attentive and responsible and can assure you your dog will have fun! Perhaps he/she will want you to take a vacation more often. So don't worry, just enjoy your time away and come home to a happy, and tired doggy.
