Hi, I am a dog lover and I look forward to taking care of your dogs while you vacation. I've never had dogs, however, at one point of time for almost 2 years, I lived with a landlord who owned one. I always took care of that dog while she went away both on short and long trips. I don't have my own dog but I think this will prepare me to have one. I go for a 45 minute walk every day as soon as I come back from work, which is at 4PM and I can make sure that your dog gets its daily exercise. There is also a dog park near where I walk. I guess thats it. If you are interested send me a note. Thanks,
