I've been around dogs all my life. My family used to show dogs back in the day. Akitas, malamutes, etc. I have a dog that stays at my parents house, German shepherd, collie breed. I do have a full time job at chipotle, but other than that I am home constantly. I would love to watch your dog and care for it as if it were my own. I do have 3 cats, but then will not bother nor be bothered by your furry friend. When your dog stays with me, they will be like part of my family. We will run around together, play, lay and have an all around great time together. I would love for you to contact me about watching your family member.
