Hello! I'm an empty-nester, but will always be a dog mom. I've been dog-sitting when needed for friends, family & neighbors for 24 years. I have 1 dog, Lucy, and 1 cat, Linus.... who doesn't mind dogs as long as they don't bother him. I live at the end of a cul-de-sac with a fenced in yard, in a smoke-free home. I'm retired, so outdoor activity is frequent when weather permits. I'm only gone when I need to run some errands and usually back home within an hour. Loving animals has been my lifelong passion and I consider them as part of the family. If your dog requires any kind of medications, I'm fine with that too. I look forward to meeting you and spoiling your furry family member!
