I have had dogs for 18 years. All lived long and heathy lives. I currently have 90 lb Hound/lab mix. (So I can handle a big dog). His name is Gambit and he is a big softy. The dogs I previously owned were two beagles (Skippy and Cooper) and a black lab (Hercules). I have pet sitted for friends and family. All of them a success. I have never met a dog that I didn't get along with. I understand that your pet is more then just a pet. They are a family member, and will get treated as such. Whether you're gone for a day, a weekend or possibly longer, I am super reliable and your fur-baby will be treated with the best care around!
