I am a mother to a 5 year old. I was raised on a small farm so animals have always been in my life. They will always own my heart. I have had dogs my entire life. Whom were all well behaved and trained. I have a 14 year old Pom at home so I will care for your fur baby like my own. I am patient and caring. I have trained a few dogs simple tricks such as sit, stay, roll over, and shake. Your dog will have bed and couch privileges and access to a small yard. I will be home all day. So food and potty breaks will be a non issue. If you are not against treats, I love to spoil.
