I have a husband, a one year old well loved and well cared for Airedale Terrier and two kids. I can’t say I have any special skills, but I love animals. Your dog would basically be coming over to hang out with us while you are gone. Our yard is fenced with lots of trees in a quiet neighborhood near downtown Mint Hill. I am a stay at home mom, so my schedule is pretty wide open most days. I have experience with all kinds of dogs, including blind, deaf, and senile senior dogs and puppies. I frequently dog sit for my family, so we are used to having extra dogs around. We would prefer the dogs stay off the furniture, but they never do, so we have given up on that battle.
