My 1st business was dog walking & dog sitting when I was 9 years old. I grew up with dogs my entire life & got into showing dogs when I was in elementary & Jr High School in Orange County. I have had several different kinds of dogs ~ from mixed breeds, to Samoyed, Alaskan Malamute and currently have a male Shiba Inu ~ I have had (2) Shiba Inu's total. My dog is truly my other son and I love dogs soooo much. I enjoy taking them to doggy beach in Cardiff, San Dieguito Park in Solana Beach & the Doggy Park @ Encinitas Community Park, along with walks in my neighborhood, which is a safe place to walk dogs. My House is very dog friendly. In fact, when my friends come over, they bring their dogs to hang out with my dog Kato, rather than be home alone. My house has a large fenced backyard (1/4 acre) with a pool in the backyard & fenced front yard as well. Your dog will be fed twice a day (if you allow it) provided treats (if you allow it) and played with, walked and loved, while you are away. I will send photos & can also send videos and face time if you have an Iphone -:) Aloha, Lisa
