I don't remember a time that I didn't have a dog in my life, and for the past 7 years, I have also cared for a cat. I've owned mostly mixed breeds from puppies to adults. I trained at Apache Acres with my current 80lb, american foxhound/american bulldog, Miya. I currently do house visits for my neighbor who owns a small dog & 2 cats. I have administered medicine & cared for her dog after 2 leg surgeries. When you love animals, it's natural to treat them like your own. I was self employed as a house cleaner for 5+ years and can provide references. Opening up your home to care for your pets entails a lot of questions and concerns. I will provide references as needed to help you feel comfortable with my services. I currently work full time Sunday - Tuesday with availabilty being Wednesday - Saturday. I am willing to walk/ play/ make visits/provide clean-up/feed. I have a large fenced yard, walk through gates on both sets of stairs, and a large crate, but at this time I am not available for bringing other animals to the home. Once aquainted with a family, this may be a consideration. My dog would love the company. I just want to be sure all animals get along before offering this as a service.
