Love animals and have been around them my whole life! My most recent pet is Sammy a 14 yr. old Golden Retriever. She has become my 80 yr old mother's companion and is now living with her to keep her company. I am missing not having an animal in my life and would love to spoil yours while your away. My husband and I are both retired and are home during the day. I have a small yard that is fenced in. The patio is concrete but I have a walking path right behind my home with lots of grass and shade. I love to walk so your pet will go for multiple walks throughout the day and get as much exercise as he/she likes or needs. I am also willing to come to your home and walk your dog during the day if your animal is more comfortable in their own environment. I only take 2 dogs at a time. Depending on when you book with me and how your dog behaves with others would be the deciding factor. I have found that even dogs that owners think don't get a long with others seem to do wonderfully when they come into a new environment. I charge $40.00 a day not a nightly fee.
