I grew up with cats and dogs and currently have five cats, all rescues, and one dog of my own - an adorable corgi. I worked for two years as a veterinary technician, but no longer do. I am comfortable with most breeds and would consider any dog guest a member of our family. I understand that it can be stressful to leave your pup even when going away on vacation, but you will have no worries while your dog is at my home. I would be able to accommodate some special needs. I am comfortable administering medication if necessary and nail trims. I work from home in a hybrid capacity. My home is a quiet environment but I can be an on duty door service if that is necessary. I have a fenced yard and also have space for a crate if necessary in the living room so pup is never alone. If I am coming to your home, I would treat it just like my own and be respectful.
