Hello! Our family loves pets, especially dogs. I have taken care of my own plus have boarded a relative's pets and of course my own. I am retired and have plenty of time to care for your pet's needs plus I'm not alone - I have 2 older boys, (13 & 15), and 6 children altogether, and a wife that loves dogs. I would love to walk your dog, pet-sit, and make sure they will have a lot of attention, be well taken care of, and that they feel part of our family. I know I would want that for our dog if we needed a sitter. I was a youth Pastor for many years and have experience with teens...so, if I can handle teenagers, I can handle animals of all kinds. Sounds funny, but they say if you are good with animals, you are good with people, and vice versa. I have had pets for over 30 years. I am currently retired and am very flexible. I am able to drop in at your address to meet your pet's needs or I am available to dog sit at my residence We have an outdoor Kennel, a well-insulated garage, and our home. We allow indoor pets. We have more than me that is able to walk and play with your pet. I will oversee the care of your Dog or cat.
