I have been a dog owner as long as I can go back in my memory, a little boy with a black lab and as I became an adult, I have had so many weekends when I had nobody to watch my dogs & always wished I could find a place or person who would watch & care for my dogs with a heart for dogs like mine, all I can say is your dog might not want to leave, haha ?Lol , In all seriousness I will love your dog as you do, that I can PROMISE ! That being said I'm a retired football coach & just want to be that outlet where you can be at peace knowing your little family member is with me.
