Hello future friends, I have had a canine companionship for about 16 of the 27 years of my life. I do not currently own a dog of my own, however I care for dogs of my friends and family whenever they go on vacation or business trips. Long walks are a must for all dogs, being cooped up in one location for long periods of time can drive any creature loopy. Your dog (family) will receive the care it deserves, as if it was a part of my family. I am a fair individual and have a great understanding of many needs, breeds, behaviors and sizes. Consider me for your next trip and I can assure you, your canine will be well-cared for. Sincerely, Richard
