I grew up with dogs as a kid, and my family always had dogs when I was raising my own kids. Today, I regularly care for my eldest son's dogs when he and his wife travel for work. They have homes in Ashland, Oregon (in the country) as well as in Los Angeles (in the city), so I have experience caring for dogs in both settings. My son's Australian Shepherd needs lots of exercise, so I take him for very long walks when I am caring for him - seveal miles a day. His wife's Lhasa Apso is fun to spend time with as well, though he is requires more pets than walks. One free feeds and the other is on a strict diet, so I have experience dealing with persnickety eaters. Both need medication, so I'm comfortable doing that as well. I look forward to getting to know your pets, too. I run my own golf websites at home for a living, so I have a lot of flexible time available to spend with your pets. I'm available to walk them, stop by and feed them while you're out, or even babysit them for you. Please feel free to contact me with any questions, and don't hesitate to make specific requests. I'll give your pets the care they deserve. I temporarily am staying at a motel on a weekly basis because my landlord just sold my house I have been renting for five years, and have to pay for one week's rent every Monday. So I need to receive requests before Mondays for the rest of that week.
