Hello. I am a stay at home mother of 3-2 girls ages 13&15, and 1 boy 4 yrs old. 1 dog , a parakeet, 2 cocktails , and a small flock of chickens . we live in a nice single family home in Bartlett, and have a well sized fenced in backyard. My husband and I work at home, so someone is usually always home. Over the years, I have owned and cared for hamsters, guinea pigs, fish, newts, dogs, cats, and birds. I have sat for others pets and always look forward to their visits. Even our two dogs love it when their friends, new and old, come to stay a while; for overnight or over a week. We treat our pets like family and don't use cages (unless you request). I hope that my family and I can take care of your pet when you aren't able to. Why I love dog sitting I have grown up with dogs almost my entire life. From childhood pets, to my own; and from other family members dogs, I have been exposed to so many breeds. I love meeting and getting to know new pets. About my yard My backyard is entirely fenced in, with plenty of grass. I do have steps leading from my backdoor up to my yard, but am willing to help older dogs if it's needed. We do have a dog door for our dogs convenience, which can be closed off if your uncomfortable.
