I've grown up around dogs my entire life. My family had a male saint bernard for 13 years and and a female neapolitan mastiff but I have not been able to find a compatible match since then but I love caring for others animals with the same affection I would give towards my own. I have experience with elderly pets, cats, rodents and small birds. My yard is not completely fenced but the back area is enclosed by a fence. My home is a few blocks away from a park if your dog loves to play. I do have two bird in my home but they are always in their enclosure and can be move to a separate area of the house if need to. I adore all types of animals and will make sure your pets get the best treatment
