My wife and I have always had dogs. As children, we both grew up with small dogs. Since we've been married, we have always had BIG dogs. Six years ago, we had to put our rottweiler, Murphy, down due to illness. We do not want to rush into getting another dog, but we are ready to dog sit for the right dog. My wife and I are teachers, so we have all summer off to dedicate to your dog. We also have a small fenced in yard and live near a forest preserve where we can go for daily walks. Whether its for a few hours or an extended stay, we are ready to meet you and your dogs' needs. And, we only book one family's dog(s) at a time.
