Your concerns are my concerns! I want to provide a better, personalized experience for your dog while you are away and keep their routine as close to normal as possible. There are no competing factors in my home, no other pets and no children. I am at home all day and would love to give your dog the care, love, and attention they deserve! I am happy to update you with pictures to assure your dog is comfortable and in good hands. I have owned and cared for dogs, cats, birds, bunnies, mice, and fish. I am a runner, and I have the energy to exercise with your dog if that is what they need. I very much consider dogs to be family and although I have no dogs myself, I have two younger dog siblings that I love to pieces.
