Gentle, caring dog owner for 28 years total ,can provide your pet with love and attention while you are away, at your private residence. I live on a 4 acre small farm with my husband, one teen daughter and college aged son. I have owned 2 shih-tzu's previously and several cats in my adult life but grew up on a farm with horses, pigs, chickens and cows. In fact, I never had milk from the store until my teen years! It was a beautiful, wholesome life! Presently, I have two dogs. Opal and Rudy. Both are rescues. I think all dogs should be given lots of praise and attention because this is their one life and they are trusting us to give them the very best! I will love on your dog like my own, while caring for them. I love to play, cuddle and make sure your dog's routine stays in place. I promise you will not be disappointed in the quality of my care! I have two advanced degrees in medical social work and spent many years working in the field. Let me provide for your fur babies during your times of need. I am easy going 55 year old female with a soft voice and generous spirit. I am a native to Franklin County and have many years of experience with caring for various pets. I am reliable, available and will provide updates while pet sitting. Because I do not smoke, a non-smoking home is my preference. Thank you for viewing my profile and considering me for your needs.
