We are dog people! We have two dogs of our own that we run with and love taking them on walks. So I would definitely like to take your dog for a stroll around the neighborhood. We also have a fenced in yard where they can play with my other puppies. They love it and I am sure your dog would too. My dogs get along very well with others. We love to cuddle! We take our dogs for short runs/walks at Lake Conestee 5 minutes up the road! Because my husband and I work from home we can let them go outside very often, every 2 hours and can feed them whenever they need to. Allow us to care for your family friend on your long travel and vacation. You focus on you and we will take care of your furry friend!
