I've grown up with dogs and had them my entire life, along with many other animals. I love animals and believe they are part of the family. I am very patient with new pets as I think they need time to adjust too. I have 2 children who are great with animals. We also have 2 cats who could care less about any pets. And one dog as well. He is a 14lb pup who would like to make some new friends! I have private area for my own pets to go should they not get along with yours. I am available afternoons after 3:00pm and most weekends. I am open to watching other critters as well, not limited to dogs. I have a quiet room away from other pets if you have another animal that needs care while you are gone.
