I grew up with dogs and have over 11 years of dog-sitting experience. I have watched dogs of varying ages and breeds. I have experience with medical needs (ex. had to inject a cat with an IV bag 2x a day). I have a young German Shepard/Lab mix who loves to play and a fenced backyard for the dogs to play in. We take our dog on a walk at least once a day and love to visit the dog beach and dog parks on the weekend. Between my fiancé and I, the longest we would be gone during the day is 5 hours, we keep our dog indoor during that time. We are very flexible and easy going. Most important- we would treat and love on your dog, just like our own.
