I grew up with large dogs and dog sit friends dogs often. I wish we had one of our own, but we travel a lot and cannot commit to our own pooch for now. I work from home so during the week, your dog will have constant companionship. I don't have a fenced in yard, but I'm a runner and am happy to run with your dog once a day and walk several times a day. My husband and I are the only people living in the house. Its a clean, smoke free home on Harbour Island. We're happy to let your pup relax at home or take him/her with us to dog beaches/parks, cafes, car rides, drive thrus for treats etc. on the weekends. We'll gladly keep up with grooming, diet, exercise, medications, etc. and do everything we can to stick to Fido's routine.
