I love all animals. From the time I was a toddler until now I've had dogs, cats, mice, a rat, a snake, an iguana, countless fish, toads, frogs, and a cockatiel. I also spent lots of time with other people's pets helping to socialize and train them, and even volunteered at the Anti-Cruelty Society helping socialize abused and abandoned dogs and cats. In general, I prefer to host one dog at a time so I can get to know them better and give them all the attention they need. I am experienced at hosting up to three canines at once provided they are all dog-friendly. I greatly enjoy providing socialization between dogs and can even work with a young, inexperienced, or unsocialized dog to help them make more furry friends in the future. There is a dog park kitty-corner to my building and two aquatic nature parks within 4 blocks. I live in a gated community, with expansive stone walkways and plants in large elevated planters for emergency elimination in inclement weather. However I generally prefer to take walks whenever possible for as long as possible so your pup and I can run, play, and enjoy new sights, sounds, and smells. A tired doggy is a happy doggy!
