We only keep dogs that are 30 pounds or less! We feel confident of our capabilities in dog sitting for several reasons : we grew up loving, and playing with dogs. Then, as we raised our three children, we had two basset hound mix dogs and a little shih tzu that we all loved, played with and took care of. Then, when all our children grew up and left our home we were given a little six week old white poodle that needed a loving home. Charlie Brown was curious and energetic and became such a loving friend and companion! After 17 years he passed away of old age and our hearts were broken and we thought we would not get another dog. But, a couple of years later, we went to the rescue facility and met Daisy. She was a pitiful little 6 lb. Maltese that needed lots of tender loving care. Her coat was extremely matted and her tender skin was badly inflamed and she was frightened as she listened to all the big dogs barking all around her. So we adopted her, took her home and tenderly cared for her, loved and cherished her back to good health. For a few years, she was well and happy, but, as she aged, she had some very serious health problems and several surgeries were required. After what seemed a too short seven years, she passed away. We're not planning to get another fur baby, even though we still enjoy being around them. So, we'd love to give some loving care to yours!
