I've had a lifelong love of animals and have always had pets growing up. In addition to caring for my own pets and those of friends/neighbors, I have volunteered at local shelters over the years to socialize and walk dogs waiting for their forever homes. Your dog will be cared for like it's my own. I work from home Monday through Friday so your pup will get plenty of attention and affection. I typically do two walks a day, mid-morning and early evening, plus backyard play (and potty breaks) throughout the day. With this flexibility, I can easily accommodate your pup's schedule/needs. On weekends, we typically venture out a bit to the waterfront, dog park, or a nearby hike. I will do everything I can to make sure your dog has a comfortable and enjoyable stay. I have a fully fenced in yard, floor to ceiling windows from which to survey and monitor any passersby, birds, squirrels, etc., and plenty of room to roam inside. I am happy to crate your dog if preferred, otherwise they will have the same unrestricted access as my own dog. I have a medium energy, roughly five year old blue heeler mix to keep your dog company.
