Each dog deserves hugs, pets and scritches. I have had dogs in my household since I was about 7 years old. Our family bred and raised German Shephards and as I grew older had my own chocolate lab. I currently have my little 22 pound Shih Tzu "Mark" who goes to work and soccer games with me regularly. He loves all dogs, big and small, as I do. I have house/dog sitting experience locally and prefer to stay local going forward. I make sure my fur-ever friends are healthy and stay healthy and happy while their family is away. I do work during the day, but if necessary I am able to do a quick lunch visit/walk with your fur-friends. Typically I will leave them safely locked in the house (or your designated space) while I am at work and give them lots of love upon my return. Depending on where you live, I check frequently for annoying pests on your fur-friend. I check for chewing or scratching marks in their fur and make sure that their water is fresh 2-3 times a day. Feeding and treats are based on your instructions. Hopefully my fur-ever friend is allowed to spend time with yours while I spend time with them. He enjoys the companionship and comradery too!
