I am a non smoker who LOVES DOGS. I have had a dog my whole life and they are part of the family and treated like a child. My dog gets a bark box every month and is spoiled. He sits on the couch with me and sleeps in bed under the covers every night. Please allow me to watch your family member while you go and have a worry free time. Rest assured your dog will receive lots of attention, cuddles, walks, kisses and play time. I am looking forward to meeting you and your dog. I also have 3 chinchillas that are kept in large cages but will have no access to your dog nor will your dog have access to any of them.
