I have over 20yrs experience with dogs. Your family member will be very well taken care of while you are away for a day or a long weekend. I live in Rehoboth Beach, very close to the beach, we will take long or short walks on the beach whichever is preferable to you, also play time on large fenced deck and fenced courtyard. I have no pets at the moment recently had to put my baby to sleep, in the past I have had Golden Retrievers and Belguim Sheepdogs. Your pets stay will be a home from home experience. If your pet is on medicine feel assured that your directions will be followed precisely. Summer is coming, go on vacation and not worry about fido ?
