Every dog is unique and deserves happy healthy life full of unconditional love. It brings me great joy to have a flexible active lifestyle to help my neighbors be in control of making that happen. It's wonderful for everyone! It's less stressful for the owner, more fun for your fluffy loved one, and gives me the best excuse for a break from the computer. I'm a visual artist working from home in need of addition income while I study new software. I grew up riding horses, surrounded by a variety of animals. After all this time I still feel playing with dogs is one of the most enjoyable gifts life has. One of my earliest memories is helping a stray dog deliver her pups in the middle of the woods. Since then iv'e had a Labrador until he grew old and most of my family members have owned dogs. Threw them iv'e raised a Rottweiler pup, lived with a mom and daughter pair of Shih Tau's, cared for an old blind deaf Lopsal Opsal, was housemates with an incredible service dog that is a German Shepherd/Wolf mix, and would often watch a Basenji mix three legged dog that didn't seem to know or care he was missing one! They all needed something different, playtime with toys, runs in forest park, medication, snacks, rubs and cuddles... And as much effort it took, or fun it was, I loved every bit of it!
