I have been taking care of dogs for years. I allow them on the furniture, and in my bed. Whatever it takes to make the dog feel secure. I love taking long walks and have access to a private locked dog park. I love to walk with the dogs down on the Hudson River. Your dog will be cared for as if it were my own dog. Lots of love and fun in store for their stay with me. I prefer a small dog as I have a shoulder carrier and take the dog with me most everywhere. I follow all rules and suggestions from the owner. Your dog will be returned to you happy and well cared for! Whatever it takes to get the job done!
