I come from an animal loving family. Since I was a child, we always had all sorts of pets in our home (birds, cats, dogs, hamsters, a duck) sometimes all at once. I am very patient with animals and I can understand their needs. I can provide a happy stay for your pup and Bruno and lady welcome any fur friend to our home. This is a husky home, so we know how and when to have fun and we know when to lay down and relax. I know first hand the difficulty of finding a petsitter that allows large breeds, handicap, unaltered males or females in heat, as my two pups are all these things. I do not have an issue with any of these things! I welcome them all! I live in an apartment by myself in a nice cul-de-sac surrounded by trails, perfect for dog-walks. I have a patio where I allow my dogs to hang-out and watch the birds while they catch the breeze and sunlight. I walk the dogs 4 times a day. Before work, upon return from work, after their dinner and at night before I go to bed. I work about 5 hours a day, so if your dog is crate trained, this shouldn't be a problem. My dogs sleep the entire time that I am gone and I walk them as soon as I walk in the door.
