I love my dog. He and I are best buddies. Your pet will be treated the same way while in my care when you're away. I have learned to understand a dog's needs (or any four-legged pet, that being dogs and cats) over the years, and have learned to tune in to each pet as an individual. I know what they like, where to be petted and rubbed and scratched. I don't know, I get along with dogs in particular so well, I sometimes think may have dog genes. If they like to play fetch, or get a belly rub or scratch behind the ears, I do it. I just do those anyway, because I know they like it. In a nutshell- I will care for your pet as though it were my own buddy, like my dog is now...
