I have grown up with dogs my entire life. I understand how important they are to one's family. I have a fifteen year old bichon frise and a five year old rottweiler. Therefore, whether you have a small, large, young or old dog I can accommodate to their needs. I understand how stressful going out of town without your dog is, I promise to eliminate as much stress as possible with pictures and text messages. I always have my phone on me so feel free to text or call! I have watched friends and coworkers dogs for trips so this is not new to me. My first job when I was a kid was watching the neighbors dogs. Your dog will be in good hands!
