I have dealt with animals of all kinds, especially dogs, my whole life. I have had many dogs throughout my life. At my house we are animal lovers. When in my care your precious pet will be treated and loved like my own. There will be frequent walking, due to I have a fur-baby of my own. She is a three year old bulldog mix. The feeding schedule will be based upon what is recommended by you. I can promise frequent updates and pictures while you are away. I do have children and cats in my home. But my cats are dog savvy and the kids have grown up with dogs their whole life. I'll make sure your fur-baby is safe in my care at all times.
