I have always been an animal lover. Always had a pet golden retriever growing up. I enjoy walking dogs or playing with them outdoors, hikes are even better. I'm generally available all day, unless I'm teaching-but that is very flexible. I can't administer anything other than oral meds, but have no problem getting dogs to take pills. All breeds are equal in my eyes- so you don't have to worry about your pet being judged or mistreated while you're away. Just as long as they are friendly and playful, we'll get along great! I currently don't have any pets in my home, so no worry of fleas or other animal carried issues. While I prefer watching pets in their own atmosphere of home, I can house them when needed.
