I've had dogs my entire life. For those with younger pups, my fenced in backyard is ideal for your dog to run around and play safely! I have a Rhodesian Ridgeback myself, who is vocal but welcoming to all dogs :) We live right above the Potomac River parks, so for those of you with more energetic dogs, I can certainly accommodate as well! I have dog training experience through Old Towne School for Dogs and am knowledgeable on pet medicine administration too! Whatever it is that best suits your pups play style and energy level, I can certainly care for your pup the way they deserve! Your dog will be well cared for and come home happy and tired. I work from home during the week and have a flexible schedule to accommodate your pet's needs including during the weekends. I'm free for frequent potty breaks, walks in the woods and trips to the dog park as needed. My dog can keep yours company but mostly she'll keep to herself. My dog is older - I'm experienced with young pups as well as aging friends. I am very active and would love to have your baby tag along if that's something you'd like. And, not shortage of cuddles here either.
