I've been a dog lover my whole life. Having the option to be around dogs while people go have vacation sounds like a personal vacation for me. Dogs tend to flock to me and I to them :) If the dogs have any special needs or instructions I can follow accordingly. Being in the downtown/ midtown area I am near tons of parks with plenty of room to throw the ball around. I also have an SUV which can allow me to take them on mini road trips to the river or on hikes. I can also offer some obedience training that doesn't involve snacks, just some positive feed back to get them to behave. Let me love your dog like you do for a few day or longer :)
