I will take care of your dog as if it were my own. I am very honest and logical. If I see a mess, I will clean it up. Growing up, I had a love for all creatures, but I loved and read most about dogs. I have raised dogs, cats, and many small animals. I taught my sons how to raise many different creatures. (Rabbits, chickens, rats, mice, hampsters, ducks, frogs, lizards, a ferret, and a few snakes.) I am a retired graphic designer, doing art projects on the side, and have the necessary time to devote to the care and attention needed for your pet/family member while you are away. You can trust that I will follow all your instructions to the letter.
