In the past, I would usually leave my dog at the kennel whenever I had to go out of town; although I innately knew that he'd be cared for, I'd feel guilty about leaving him in a rusted cage while depriving him of belly rubs, long walks, cuddles, and treats. As an individual who has owned a Maltipoo, a Maltese, and a Yorkshire, you can be sure that your small/medium sized dog will be in good hands. At the moment, I have a rather flexible schedule; as a stay at home mom, I will be able to visit the dog(s) multiple times a day, take them for a walk(s), and even house sit a dog if they suffer from separation anxiety. Your dog is in good hands with me!
