I come from a dog loving family, I have never not had dogs in my life daily. I worked for a veterinarian in high school as a tech., also for a nationwide pet store chain and as a docent for the Peoria, IL. Glen oak zoo. I have experience with fish, reptiles, rodents, dogs, cats and birds as well as farm animals. I had rabbits, hampsters, ferrets, boa constrictors, parrots, chinchillas, iguanas, raccoons, turtles and aquariums (fresh, brackish and salt) growing up. Our home and cabin are pet friendly and rooms can easily be partitioned off with baby gates for some rest and relaxation, our dogs run on 50 plus acres, swim in the ponds, explore our 3 creeks and also are invisible fence boundary trained, (Xtra collars available or bring your own) we use PETSAFE system, a runner line hook up between shade trees available too. Or just hang out inside and relax. Theres no traffic, just running/walking room. Our dogs are very social , no food or toy aggresssion and great with puppies, small dogs as well as XL dogs. My dogs are spoiled with attention and love.Only restriction: Not able to cat sit at MY home, my dogs are scared of cats, okay at your home.
