I absolutely LOVE caring for animals and want nothing more than your pet to feel comfortable in my home! My home consists of over 1/2 acre lot with 1/4 acre fenced area for young dogs to run and play and older dogs to rest and relax. We live in a very pet friendly neighborhood, and my children and pets have had lots of exposure to both large and small dogs and cats. My dogs absolutely love other dogs, and get along well with cats. My kids will shower your pet with affection! We are always learning and seeking out opportunities to grow in our understanding of animal behavior as a family. I have always had a passion for animals since I was a child and am now hoping to train our deaf puppy using hand signals/sign language to work as a therapy dog when he gets older. **If you choose me I will aim to help your pet feel secure, safe, and at home while away from home. I will strive to understand your pets individual needs and provide a nurturing environment. If there is anything specific you would like me to focus on, just let me know! I am happy to assist with training or provide ample walks throughout the day if your dog is high energy/needs a break from other dogs. I also have a large basement space and several gated indoor spaces if your pet is in need of some alone time! No need to bring supplies other than food and anything special your pet prefers, such as, a blanket or bed. I have extra crates, toys, food/water bowls, leashes and treats/bones! Also a small pool in the backyard to cool off. :) If your dog does not use a crate, that is perfectly fine too. We have lots of quiet spaces where I can set up a personal spot in my home. I can also provide daily photos/ videos of your pet if you prefer!
