I grew up with dogs, the minimum we ever had was 4, the most was 7 ranging from Pomeranian to puggles to retrievers. Now living on my own, I have a large hunk of love Chesapeake Bay retriever who I walk faithfully everyday, rain or shine. When he was younger we would go on runs together. I enjoy being physically active.. I now see what my mom means when she says pets are family. I will treat your pets the same; talking to them, playing games and spoiling them while you're gone. When my parents are out of town, I care for their 6 dogs, ages from puppy to senior. Any concerns you may have about your pup, let me know and I will put your mind at ease.
