Hey! My name is Andrew and boy do my wife and I love pups. We have a 3 year old scruffy Portuguese Podengo named Ivy, who is definitely a member of the family. If she could hold a fork and knife, she would probably eat at the table with us. Besides Ivy, we both grew up with pets and taking care of pets in the house and think that dogs bring an awesome joy to our lives! Our dog Ivy loves other pups. She is definitely more on the submissive side, rather than being the aggressor but loves a good play. We generally take her out a few times a day and play with the ball or frisbee, and we often take trips to the dog park, to get her extra wiggles out. We love going to for walks around our neighborhood, and during the summer visiting the dog beach! Your pup would feel right at home. I would do my best to take the utmost care for your precious one and make sure they are all set for a relaxing time while you are gone. Please let me know if you have any questions! I look forward to hearing from you!
