My husband and I have 9 bird dogs. I would have more if I could. I do not bring any of my dogs with me on outings. I am a healthcare provider, and yoga teacher, with a pretty flexible schedule. I am a natural caretaker, very nurturing, and an animal lover. My kids and I are always pet sitting for friends and neighbors. We love it! I'll take care of your dog exactly like you would. I'm excited to run, hike or walk your dog, take them swimming, and become one of their buddies. I absolutely appreciate and respect very specific instructions for you pets. I strive to make their tails wag, and their time away from you feel short. Your dog may even get a little doggy massage everyday. I understand that our pets are family too!
