Hello! I'm Silvia. Having undergone advanced screening, I have been met in-person by a company representative and my home has been inspected. I'm a writer, a UCLA psychology major and a chronic dog-lover. My husband, also a writer and UCLA retired professor sometimes invites my dogs to his daily uphill walks, but I'm the major care-taker. Our unusually large (two acre) fenced yard, surrounded by a dozen trees is a great dog park. During my writing breaks this is where I take my dogs. Plus as a hiker, I take them on a half-hour walk after breakfast and a one-hour walk before dusk. Often times, I walk with my neighbors and their dogs. I only take dogs that know how to walk on a leash. The price listed is for a 24 hour stay for a dog weighing up to 40lbs. And $40 for dogs over 50 lbs. I usually take 2 dogs only because a small group fosters faster intimacy, less confusion and better communication. it's simply more comfortable for all us.
