My husband & I have watched/owned dogs (& cats) for over 21 years. Even a skunk our daughter convinced us to have :). We LOVE them ALL. Big & Small. We will visit your home up to 4/5 times a day for Fido to make certain he's well loved on. We will feed, play, walk, give meds (if needed), feed the cat, bring in the mail and water your plants. But, we feel keeping your dogs at home in their own environment is the safest for them vs putting them in a kennel for your stay. We are readily accessible by text, email and phone if needed during your stay. You can check up on your animals at any time. We keep a written log at your home of each and every visit of exactly what was done.
