Pet care experience

Hi! I’m a special education teacher who has the love and patience for all! I have two dogs of my own a border collie-Australian cattle dog mix and a dog I rescued from the streets of Puerto Rico. They are both friendly and welcoming and enjoy playing with other dogs. My 2 kids (ages 13 and 16) and I love spending time and getting exercise while caring for animals. I enjoy yoga, jogging, new adventures and a good book. I have a privacy fence and a neighborhood beach. During the summer I’m home most of the day. During the school year I do work but I’m ok with watching your furry friend as long as you are ok with them either roaming the house or crated. Pets are incredible part of people’s lives and I am here to make sure your furry companion is treated like one of our own! My obligation to you is to know your dog will be cared for and safe in my care so you can enjoy your time away! We provide your pet a fun, family home. My favorite quote is “an outfit isn’t complete unless there is pet hair!” So bring the dog and I’ll bring the fun!
