I have grown up with dogs and cats my entire life. I have watched my friends pets when they have gone on vacation. I personally feel that animals are way better than humans, how can you not love an animal? Your animal will be well taken care of with me! I am honest/trustworthy, personable and will treat your pet as if he/she were my own. I work from home M-F during the day. I live across the street from a park and I live in a pet friendly neighborhood. It would be nice to go on walks to break up the monotony of the day if your dog boarded with me. I play volleyball in the neighborhood parks and would be happy to bring the pooch with me to get some fresh air. I also have a large enclosed patio if your dog wants to chill outside. He/she will be safe on my watch. I have a large fenced in outdoor patio. I do have a cat named Denver that knows all the dogs in the neighborhood. He sleeps all day in the master bedroom and then comes and goes via kitty door in the evening. Your pet can easily coexist at my place. And if you prefer that your pet stay at your home so as to not disrupt their routine, I can always make those accommodations since I work remotely and have a lot of autonomy owning my own business.
