Stay at home Grandpa and dog lover. Retired and home all day. I’m very reliable. I won't even accept the job if I'm too busy to do it right. I'm available for phone calls and texts while I'm caring for your pet and will gladly communicate with you as you desire I've owned several dogs myself and they are always treated like "people", and members of the family. I also babysit and dog sit a lot for my own two daughters kids and their pets. When your dog is under my care, you can rest assured that I will give it my full attention, kindness, care, and understanding. I know the importance of this because we hire dog sitters when we travel, and it is very important for YOU to be able to go somewhere worry-free.
