We had a small Chihuahua, she had a big heart. I was caring about her and going to trainings. She was sleeping with kids and was great member of our falimy. My dog passed half a year ago, it was emotional tragedy for everyone. After that, we decided not to take a pet, at least for now... Lack of dog's presents in my life leeded me to volonteering in dogs shelter and later I decided to start pet sitter service. I know some times there is no choice, but must leave your pet for few days, and it is alway better to have loving and caring host family then sad dogs-hotel. We live in a private house with a medium garden, where dog can play. There are 2 big living rooms with a corridor on the ground floor where dogs usually stay. But if they go up the stairs thy can move freely around the house. Our family is me, my husband and two teen girls who love playing with dogs and allow them in their beds (of course if owner of the dog allowes that). I work mostly from home, so your pet may be left alone only for some of the days for 1-2 hours. I walk dogs 3 times a day for minimum 20min up to 2h on quiet and green resedential streets in our neighbourhood. We have forest 35min away by foot, sometimes I go there as well for a walk with dogs. I have some knowledge about training dogs but I dont do it professionally. I keep one pet at a time and we don't have any pets at home. I will be glad to take care of your dog, when you are away. You will need to bring dogs place to sleep, toys, bowls and food, if needed any medications than please provided and I will take care of that. ---------------------------------------------------------
