I love animals. I have had dogs all my life; large & small. I have dog sat for friends and relatives. I will play and love on your dog and take great care of him/her. Your dog won't be neglected. I have had a special needs dog in the past that I cared for. I had a rescue dog before who had food aggression. I had a dachshund who was partially paralyzed that I cared for. I have a 2 yr old lab now. She is super friendly, well behaved, and loves people and other dogs! My back yard is large, with secure fencing. No other dogs are owned by my neighbors. I'll run with ur dog, play with him, and take excellent care of him. I allow dogs in my house but just not on the furniture. I've had numerous dogs throughout my lifetime, large and small. I have cared for dogs and cats of various friends and family members. My husband and I are empty nestors so there are no small children in our home. I have a nice, covered patio in the backyard and a crate if needed.
