I can work from home and my office is local. I enjoy walking/running/playing with our visiting pets. In the past, I have dog-sat for travelers...before DogVacay even existed. I have had dogs all my life and know how much they add to my family and my own personal life. I will take excellent care of your loved one, too. Mulitiple walks and lots of attention are staples in my house. I like to snuggle on the couch as well as have fun playing catch and going on walks. I send lots of photos throughout the stay so you won't miss him/her too much! I love to see the joy of the dogs when we play catch...over and over again. They are so happy and energized! It gives ME joy! Look forward to meeting you and your pet!
