I have lived in this area since 1995, and I love dogs. I have owned and cared for dogs for friends and family for many years. When they go on vacation, they ask me to watch their dogs. I live 2 blocks from Newman Veterinary Center, and about 2 miles from a 24-hour emergency veterinary hospital. I have a 3 bedroom home and furnished cottage with kitchenette, so your dog will have plenty of room to spread out and relax. I don't have any rules regarding beds or furniture. They are welcome to sit and sleep where they please. They can sleep with me, or alone. I have doggie beds and toys available, as well. I am home 24/7, so your special family member will never be alone. I have a fenced yard, so your dog can potty at will. I will also play with your dog. I will care for your dog based on your instructions. I can't think of a better way to spend my day than caring for your special pooch. I am a grandmother now, so I have no children at home. Your dog will have fun with me, and I would love to schedule a time to meet with you and get to know you and your dog better!
