I am Mommy of a little Chihuahua for about a year. We have spent tremendous great time together! We have been to camping/boating/hiking/snow walking together! I hope she can make more doggie friends! I have some basic doggie caring knowledge from one year caring experience for my puppy. While I may not good at caring for big size dog. I would be happy to take care of well-behaved dog in small/medium size and over 1 year old. I also ask for caring for my puppy when I am away from her. I understand how it feel like to be dog parent. I do hope you enjoy your leisure/business trip and your dog would be safe and healthy staying with me! Doggie hug hug hug hug!
