I know what it's like to go away and worry about your dog and the care he/she is receiving. I have a loving home with two kids who love dogs. We have 1 sweet dog Carma, 1 cool cat Goldie, 2 guinea pigs Erin and Moo Moo and 4 fish. We live near the causeway (bike path) where I can take your dog for a nice walk on the beautiful path. We do not live on a main road where cars are driving quickly by and we live in a dog friendly neighborhood. I've had dogs for much of my adult life, previously had an Australian Shepard and German Shepard for 13 years and now I have a mix border collie/golden retriever for 3 years. Your dog will be treated well and be safe here.
