I have 2 goofy dogs at home, and they're treated just like family. Dogs are always allowed on furniture and in bed, and can pretty much come and go as they please - I have a fenced yard and a doggie door that's always open. Previous work experience includes a veterinary hospital, so I'm comfortable with puppies, seniors, and dogs that require medication or a little extra TLC. If your dog just wants to nap all day, or run out all that extra energy, I will make sure they're happy. I am an audiology doctoral student at ECU, but my days aren't too busy. I can generally promise that pets will not be left alone for more than 4 hours on class days, and they will still have access to the fenced yard if I'm gone. I also have an unused bedroom for any pets that simply want some alone time.
