I have always had dogs in my life. I have nursed pups, I have been in the birthing room with my dogs when they have had puppies. They really trust me. I have dog sat for sick injured dogs. I only work Friday Saturday and Sunday so I am available during the busy week but I do have two kids and a dog myself. My son and I walk our dog during the day and at night. Usually really late my husband does. My husband grew up on a farm, which I have watched the farm as well which has a pig, chickens, goats, dogs, and cats. Our family loves dogs and animals of all kinds. If anyone wants to test the waters first I'd be happy to allow that.
