Hi! My name is Kerri and I like many dogs a lot more than many people! :) I'm a teacher on Long Island and have plenty of evenings and weekends free from September-June while the summer months are pretty much wide open! I myself had a yellow lab, Cody, who made every day better for the 11 (too short) years he was here --he was my best friend in the world and your best friend(s) will be in excellent hands! I am new to dog-sitting but not new to dogs--man's best friend is a huge understatement. I have watched many of my friends and family members' dogs over the years and I really thoroughly enjoy it. Cody had developed a number of health issues over the years which, unfortunately, made me familiar and comfortable with providing medications. Life is better with a dog-it's that simple. I will 100% give you peace of mind while you're away and you won't need to worry about a thing with your best friends in my care. I know this is a very big decision--thank you for reading and I hope to hear from you soon!
