I have cared for dogs my entire life, mostly rescuing GSDs, as well as professional experience managing a boarding facility. I have experience with large breeds, lots of patience with timid ones, the energy to tire the most excited dogs. Long hikes, short walks, drop in visits, long term care, and everything in between - I would love to do it! I know trusting your dog to someone else can be a worrisome experience. I am probably the most picky when it comes to choosing someone to take care of my own dog! I will care for your dog just as I would expect someone to care for mine. They will be a temporary part of the family! I work from home most of the time and am usually only gone for an hour or two.
