Mature, semi-retired, part time social work professor and dog lover. Retired military officer; seasoned, highly reliable and caring pet owner. I love dogs and would love to care for your pet in your home or mine. I have a large, fenced in yard with a barrier protecting the dogs from the pool area. Doggie door for those accustomed to using one. I am home many hours each day and will provide companionship to your pup as I don't work full time. I also live less than a mile from a lovely park where I will take your dog for longer walks each day. I lost my beloved cocker spaniel a year and a half ago so I look forward to showering love and affection on your pup whenever needed
