I have owned dogs for most of my life, and harbor a deep passion for them and their well being. I saw my two boys through from puppies into old age, and have been involved in nearly every step that we needed to take to care for them. I know how to clip and grind nails safely (even if the dog doesn't do well with it). I love to bathe and brush them, and can groom them or blow them dry if needed, though it won't nearly be at the level of a professional. Walking energetic dogs is so much fun, I haven't had the chance in a while, since my last puppy had ankle problems and couldn't walk too far. My family used to have 3 dogs at home, 2 sweet elderly boys and a young girl who I cared for consistently and with joy. I'm at home nearly all of the time, and can dedicate whatever amount of time is needed to care for your fur babies. I promise that your sweet babies will be well taken care of if left with me, and I will say: I've been told I give off good vibes to animals. Several animals I've met who are normally very bad with new people took to me almost instantly when we met.
