I make sure they are happy and comfortable while in my care. You will not worry while you're away. More importantly your dog can go about their normal day to day routine stress free. I have cared for dogs of friends for several years. Some have passed on, but I have shared in the loss and the grief. I invite you to communicate with me their little quirks, likes and dislike. I welcome dogs on special diets, medication and vitamins. After all, it is all about the dog, right?!!!!! You will know that your dog had a great experience by the way your dog responds to me on the next visit. The dog will eagerly greet me with a wagging tail and lots of doggie kisses!
