Through the week either my wife or I am home all day. On the weekends we are both home. We love dogs and so does our daughter. I had two dogs (golden retrievers) growing up and loved every minute of it. In college my roommate had a smaller dog (Pomeranian) and I helped take care of the dog whenever he was not home or had to go out of town. My wife had a dog growing up and watches dogs occasionally through the week. I will run with your dog, take your dog to the park, and give your dog the care it deserves. I promise your dog will be able to make himself/herself right at home. I can not wait to have the opportunity to meet your dog!
