I am a mom to 3 energetic boys and 1 dog. We love all animals, including horses, birds, cats, dogs and most anything else. I grew up on a farm and have done everything from helping my sheep have lambs to medications, wound care and bottle feeding. Now with teenage boys there are lots of laps and hands to help. We are a homeschooling family with a very flexible schedule, and would love the opportunity to love on your pets. I will leave the boys at home unless I have your specific permission for them to help play with your animal, but they won't be alone at anytime. We can take dogs on walks, to the dog park or just play in your yard. If your dog is more mellow, there is always an empty lap. We have 1 labradoodle that enjoys playing with energetic dogs, but is also happy giving company their own space. With our large backyard, dogs have tons of running room and even a lake for a swim. We always stay outside to supervise our guests :)
