I am an animal lover and have been around cats and dogs (Golden Retrievers) my whole life! Currently my household includes a loving 11 year old boy, a cat and an outside turtle. I am home most of the time in between picking up and dropping off my son at school nearby, or a short trip to the store. We have a fenced in back yard for your dog to enjoy and live within walking distance to a park as well. Why I love dog sitting I grew up with Golden Retrievers as well as dog sitting for friends and neighbors throughout the years. I love all animals! About my yard I have a fairly good sized yard which is fenced in the back, mostly sunny and partly shady. My experience administering medication Yes, most medications as long as written instructions are included. Usually during stay, my cats will be separated from dogs.
