When our elderly dog passed away a few years ago, I started watching dogs for our neighbors during vacations and volunteering at our shelter. Having been dog and cat owners our whole lives, this has been a great way to keep dogs in the family and help others. I'm an active hiker and runner with 3 adult children. Your dog will receive as much attention as he or she wants. My goal is to make sure you and your dog are comfortable and happy while you're away! I'll gladly take your dog on a run or hike whenever he or she wants, or provide a calm, relaxing environment for less active dogs. Either way, we'll make sure your dog is loved and well cared for.
