I have had many dogs/cats live in my home. I've also taken care of many friends' pets in their homes, including dogs and cats, and enjoy giving their humans the opportunity to travel stress-free. I use positive reinforcement with behaviorally challenged dogs and provide a safe, calm environment in my house. I currently have no other animals or children, so your pet can have a relaxing retreat. I understand how important it is that the person taking care of your animal is responsible and compassionate.
