I've had a pet since I can remember. I currently have one dog, Ellie, that is the light of my life. I love having dogs around the house and will take excellent care of your fur baby! I work full-time M-F but work from home so I will always be here to give your fur baby love and attention. I generally leave Ellie with a sitter when I go on vacation so I know how important it is to have peace of mind that your pet is safe and well cared for. I myself love receiving pictures while away so if you do as well I will happily send you many! We will do daily walks as well as visits to the nearby dog park where there are many friendly dogs. Occasional weekend hiking with my fiance who will provide lots of love as well. Ellie is a 7-year-old lab/pitbull mix and she gets along with almost all dogs, unless they are aggressive towards her. Of course, we will meet and make sure they get along before your family member comes to stay. I have a Petcube so you can check on your pet whenever you want (as long as they are lounging in the living room)!
