I am a part time stay home mom and part time student. My whole family loves dogs. We have a Labrador retriever . He is a big boy but very gentle. He thinks he is a small baby. He goes along very well with other animals. We have big enough backyard for dogs to run around. Growing up, i always had a dog. I love being around them. I love taking care of them. I have done dog sitting for my nephew's lots of time. My husband and my daughter help me taking care of the dogs. I would love to know your pet's need and work around it. We also have a dog park very close to our house where we take our dog to play on regularly. I will make your pet feel like they are in their own house !!!
