I am a dog sitter with 12+ years of dog sitting experience and a lifetime of loving animals. I have 3 dogs and a cat of my own so your dog will have to tolerate cats. I have a large yard that is fully walled with 6 to 8 foot walls, so your dog will have plenty of room to run and play. I have a dog door so they can go out as they please, it is closed at night so they would need to be able to go without going out. I provide day care as well as long term care. References and testimonials are available on this site. I am a Certified caregiver, I work night shifts when available , I crate all but one of my dogs and have extra crates if needed, I have never had a problem while being away. My phone is a land line, if you have a need to call me please leave a message as I do not answer calls I don't recognize and I am quite possibly standing there waiting for you to tell me who and why your calling and I will answer or I will call you back as soon as I return home. Also you should know that I don't use a smart phone and receive your messages on my computer, which I check often and I will contact you as soon as I receive your request.
