**Pick-up Time is 24 hours from the time you drop your pet off (A 2 hour grace period will be given).** I have been watching dogs for as long as I can remember. In my 40+ years, I have always owned a dog...from large dogs to small lap dogs and even cats. Each one is treated like my own. I work from home FT, so I look forward to the company. I'm an Air Force Veteran, therefore, you can depend on me to be loyal and dependable. I can assure you that I will treat your “babies” like they were my own; not only because I’m an animal lover, but because it’s how I want my “babies” treated while I’m away. In my home, I currently have an 8lb Maltese named Snoopy that I adopted 9 years ago. It is technically my 15 y/o's son's--but I think he likes me better =) There wasn't an option to select teenager for children in the home, but my son does help me out from time to time with permission from you, of course. The great thing about me is that I am very flexible. I can usually accept last minute requests that others cannot. For the first week, when walking your dog, I do try to spend a little additional time each visit with your pets (at no additional charge) just so we both can get acclimated to one another. I can’t wait to meet you and your pets and to create a lasting friendship with both of you!
