I would love to take care of your dog while your away on vacation, I work from home so I would be here most of the time, I have a small dog door so my dog buddy can go out as often as needed our yard is fenced and we're pretty flexible in the house he's free to go wherever he wants inside, my husband and I have always had dogs and watch our daughters dogs whenever we're needed. Our Grandchildren do very well with all the dogs we have watched, they enjoy meeting and playing with them. all the dogs I have watched seem to be very comfortable in our home, between me my husband and grandkids they have plenty of attention, we also have a dog cam. in our living room, so that we can check on them when we're temporarily away.
