I truly love animals. Especially dogs. I grew up with a variety of different breeds. I've almost always lived with a dog or an occasional cat all my life. So I have had a lot of experience taking care of them growing up. As an adult I've owned a Golden Retriever and Australian Cattle dog. Both of these I raised from puppies and they lived to be 12 and 14 years old. Currently I own a 20 year old cat named Sadie Mae. Because I'd like her to live out her elderly kitty years in peace, I choose not to own a dog at this time. I'm looking forward to being able to help care for your animal. This would not only be fun for me but it would satisfy my puppy fix in the mean time. Nothing can make me instantaneously smile or laugh more than an happy dog with a waggily tale. I firmly believe that dogs need good exercise, consistent guidance, supervision and an occasional romp. I am comfortable with dogs and cats of all ages, administering medications, and anything that your furbaby might need to be happy and healthy. I own a vehicle so I have a reliable form of transportation.
