I've had dogs and cats for over 35 years, and I've had dogs of all sizes, from large to small. I know how to bathe, care for wounds, give medication, care for sick dogs, deaf dogs, blind dogs, baby dogs and elderly dogs. I love all animals, I look after them as if they were my own children, I have patience and I care for them with a lot of love and dedication,I love to play and cuddle. If your dog likes a lap, I love that! I believe that the best experience is having lived with them during my 51 years, as I've always had dogs and cats since I was a little girl. I have a store, where I make collars by hand and part of the sale helps animal shelters. Part of the money I receive will also be donated to help animal shelters. I also volunteer at a shelter where I help look after dogs. I work from home 100% of the time. I really want to have the opportunity to take care of other dogs who need attention while their owners are traveling, working or have commitments where they can't go with them. I'm Brazilian, and in Brazil I lived in a big house with a very large yard, so I had several dogs adopted, here in the US, I adopted Louie, a super nice Chihuahua mix who loves to play with other dogs. I take care of several different breeds, sizes and characteristics of dogs and I can say that I fall in love with each and every one of them. I have several dogs that I consider family because they are always here at home. When they leave I miss them, including some who sleep in bed with me. I have a client who says that here at home is Holiday Camp! I'm very happy when they arrive and recognize my house and are eager to come in. They keep me company during the day and that's wonderful. I usually have more than one dog together as they already know each other and are very friendly with other dogs. I always ask the owners for permission if I have more than one dog in my house. I have experience with all sizes of dogs and types of behavior, including puppies who are not yet trained and have a lot of energy. I can say that my guests and their owners are very happy during the time they are in my care. I look after them with a lot of love. Looking after dogs isn't a job for me, I do it because I love being with them. I have my own company and work from home, so I'm able to look after them with the utmost dedication. I can take your dog to play in the dog park and have a few hours of fun!
