I have owned and sat for dogs for many years. I enjoy outdoor activities like walking and hiking, and I include my dog. He is very calm and well-behaved and gets along well with other dogs. I will make sure your dog is comfortable and cared for and will try to give him or her a little fun each day. He will be allowed to roam in the house day and night unless you prefer him to be in his kennel at certain times. Sometimes I hike and camp on weekends, and your dog could go along if you are comfortable with that. I have a small camper and my dog loves to camp and hike. Often there are several dogs on the hikes we attend.
