I am new to dog sitting (outside of family) but have had dogs for years. I have an 8 year old son and I also have a rabbit. I do not believe in harsh punishment or spanking animals. I love dogs and believe they are one of the smartest animals. I do work full time but I get off fairly early in the day so i am pretty flexible with my time. I live in a quiet part of town by a lake and there is plenty of space to walk your pet safely. I can host small to medium dogs in my place, but large dogs i am current not able to host. i look forward to caring for your pups when you are not able to!
