If your dog likes attention, affection, and sleeping indoors, he/she will love staying with me while you're away. I work mostly at home, so your dog is welcome to hang out with me as much as desired inside, or freely roam from inside to outside. I have a large tree-filled yard (fenced of course) with room to play and to rest. There's also a nice sun deck where we can put a comfy nap blanket for your dog. We can take walks on the beach or along a trail; I live near both. My preference is to care for one dog (or "dog family" if you have multiple dogs) at a time.
