I grew up around dogs. I helped raise 2 of our family dogs from puppies. I have dog sat for friends the last 2 years doing drop in visits while they were away. I enjoy taking care of all animals. I have fed and played with my friends dogs and cats so they don't feel lonely while their owners are away. I have also fed their fish. During the summer months I am home full time with my daughter. I teach first grade during the school year. During the school year I am available mornings and evenings. I enjoy taking dogs for walks ( as long as it isn't too hot out for them) and playing fetch with them. I take caring for others loved ones seriously.
