I believe your dog is a family member and should be treated as such. When you are away I will go out of my way to make sure your dog is excited and looking forward to my visit. I know how nervous some dogs feel having strangers suddenly in their homes. My goal is to make sure your dog is treated with gentleness and love. I will give your dog the walk you want them to have. It can be high energy for cardiovascular health or a leisurely stroll, so that they can smell and sniff for pleasure. Your dog's safety is my priority. When they are with me, I want you to know I will look after them, like they are my children. I will follow your instructions for exactly how you want your dog looked after. I am happy to send you photos and texts during our outings, so you know what we are up to. Above all, I want you to feel confident about your dog's security when with me. Finally, I should tell you I am British and as we say, "we only show affection to horses and dogs".
