I'm semi-retired, so your baby will hardly ever be alone. When I'm at work, my father will be home. I work 4 nights a week for a few hours, so please be patient if you send a request during the day, as I may be sleeping. I worked at a veterinarian as a young person, and have never stopped loving being around animals. When friends & family need a sitter, I'm the person they ask, as they know their furry family member will be safe & loved while they are gone. Large and partially fenced in yard. There are 2 dog parks near by and a doggie daycare for an additional fee. If privacy is preferred, a quiet walk in the neighborhood. I know how much I miss my dogs when they can't come with, but it's always a relief if I know they'll be treated with love...and yours will be treated like they are my very own. Relax, enjoy your vacation! They're in an animal loving household.
