We treat your dog like we would want you to treat your dog. We have had negative experiences with pet sitters and don't want that to happen to your dog. We understand your dog is your family and we treat dogs as family members. We also have a great space...huge house and huge 3/4 acre fenced in yard in a nice, secure neighborhood. We also have an alarm system and I work from home and someone will be home 24/7. I think me understanding the stress being away from home places on your dog is important as well. Big dogs and little dogs have different needs. We have both and understand the safety and other concerns that different sizes and breeds entail. We are very experienced dog owners.
