I've grown up with dogs and absolutely love them! I have ample experience through dog-sitting and raising my own! I'm excited to love your dog and ensure they have an enjoyable time while you are away! Please feel free to message me anytime while I'm watching your dog and I will surely provide periodic updates. At the end of your trip your dog my not want to leave! :P My husband and I are very active and take the dogs we sit on lots of hikes and to the dog park if the owner is okay with it. I'm excited to work with you and make your trip away as seamless as possible. Please let me know if you have any questions! Best, Nicole <3
