Hello!! I have grown up with dogs and cats (and a variety of other critters) my entire life, and have my own 12 year old chow mix - Shadow - that I have had since he was 6 months old. I've done obedience training with my dog and have been around dog parks, friends with dogs, etc. so I feel I am pretty knowledgeable about dogs in general! I have always been passionate about animals and would love to care for your fur baby! I know how stressful it is to leave your dog in another persons hands, but I can assure you that I completely understand and would do everything in my power to make you and your dog comfortable. I love to take pictures so I can send updates throughout the day/stay. I love doing drop in visits with cats, and I have horse experience as well! Please note that I do have a full time job during the week, so please inquire about specific timing of requests. I am generally available on all major holidays.
