I have always enjoyed having pets. I grew up in a large family with a whole zoo of pets. We had rabbits (5-6 at a time), rats, mice, snakes, birds, cats, dogs, and a few different lizards. I have also had several fish tanks that I have experience cleaning, as well as having plenty of experience cleaning and feeding a ball python I use to have.. Currently is the first time I have not had some sort of pet, my 130 pound Rottie passed away a year ago and I have really missed having a dog around. I believe being a dog nanny is so much fun and I think it will help me miss my big guy just a little bit less. My home a decent size with plenty of room to play! I have a huge yard and a two kids that love to play with animals. I also have a very good street for a nice walk that is safe. During the week there is the option of going to a dog park for a good play with some other dogs. A good plus, since I have kids it means that the house is kid/puppy proof! Though I won't be able to watch dogs that do not like children, as my youngest is almost 5 and very cuddley with pets. I look forward to watching your pet for you!!
