I love dogs and they seem to love me. I have had 1-3 dogs at any given time in my family for the past 30 years. I used to have a mini-farm with many farm animals and rescue dogs. I no longer have the farm but still have a need to care for animals. I would be happy to love your sweet dog while you're away. I work from home full time and have the time to care for your furry friend. I believe dogs should feel part of the family and they should feel just as special as 2-legged animals! I am also a regular runner, so if your dog needs serious exercise, I can give them a real workout. Looking forward to meeting your furry friend!
